The win belongs to Daigoro Rondon in relief. His record improves to 3-1. Joba Chamberlain took the loss for New York. Jorge Vasquez, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 7th save.

Thome had an important at-bat with runners on 1st and 3rd in the top of the seventh, when he hit a sacrifice fly. The Spiders went on to win.

"I like to lead by example," said Thome. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."

The 4th-place Spiders now have a win-loss record of 20-26.
