Diesel Make ValleyCats 5-4 Losers
Detroit picked up a win at William "Rip" Rowan Park, bumping off the Tri-City ValleyCats, 5-4. Pitcher Loren Palmer was a major reason the Diesel emerged victorious. The winner was Palmer. He threw 6.0 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was Mike Mills. Brian Aaberg earned his 45th save in 57 tries.

Detroit right fielder Juan Gonzalez contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the seventh. With two down, he hit a fastball to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 190th hit of the season and put the Diesel ahead, 4-2.

"Not to put too fine a point on it," said Gonzalez, "but we really needed that win."

The Diesel improved their record to 87-73 by beating Tri-City.
