Eagles Need Extra Innings to Top Bobcats, 5-3
The Eagles grabbed a win, 5-3, at Lakefront Stadium, overcoming a fine effort from Cleveland pitcher Myron Baird. Baird went 8 innings and allowed 2 runs. Miguel Jimenez was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 1 of 1 save opportunities. The win has Washington at 35-57.

Washington needed the clutch hitting of John Stites to seal the deal. The right fielder swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the 12th inning to put the Eagles on top, 5-3. For the game, Stites had 1 home run and 2 singles in 6 at-bats.

"This ballgame left me feeling kind of raw," said Cleveland manager Daniel Mays.
