Wolverines Edge Past Empires, 2-1
In a low-scoring tilt between the Detroit Wolverines and the New York Empires, Jay Crain was the difference-maker. The Detroit right-hander spearheaded the 2-1 win. Reliever John Gaylord picked up the win. His record improves to 6-4. Chuck Hinck took the loss. Detroit is now 94-55, 11½ games up in the American Baseball League Eastern Division.

Detroit took a 2-1 lead on Dave Wynn's 5th home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off New York pitcher Chuck Hinck in the bottom of the eighth.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Detroit skipper Alex Wobbema.
