Wolverines Pick Up 4-1 Win Over Montreal
The Detroit Wolverines got a strong performance from pitcher Juan Rodriguez, who stymied the Montreal offense en route to a win, 4-1, at LaSalle Stadium. Rodriguez picked up the win for Detroit, going 7.2 innings. He gave up 1 run on 3 hits. He now sports a record of 12-4. The win lifted the Detroit record to 52-31.

Detroit used the timely hitting of Dave Zellers to capture the win. The third baseman socked a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Wolverines ahead, 3-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"It was a tough night at the plate," said Montreal manager Michel Alexandre Cauchon.
