Zimmerman goes 4-for-4 in Wolverines Win
Detroit catcher John Zimmerman contributed to his team's 9-6 win over the Houston Drillers. Zimmerman went 4 for 4 with 1 run scored to lead the offensive attack for the Wolverines. The American Baseball League Eastern Division-leading Wolverines have a record of 71-47.

Chris Beeler went 1 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for Detroit. The five-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 6-6 tie with a run-scoring walk off Tim Fried. It was his 26th walk of the season.

"We bring energy to every game," said losing manager Steven Palps. "But it's got to translate into wins."
