Spiders Stay Hot With 6-5 Win
Behind a solid performance from designated hitter Bill Flores, the Cleveland Spiders defeated the New York Yankees, 6-5. Flores was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Spiders. The winner was Cleveland reliever Daigoro Rondon, now 7-3. The loser was Jason Grilli. Cleveland's winning streak has reached 7 games.

Flores had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a first pitch slider from Jason Grilli, he banged a solo home run to left, giving the Spiders a 5-4 lead. It was the 27th home run of the year for Flores.

"Winning breeds more winning, I guess," said Flores.
