Los Angeles Beats Detroit, 2-1
Detroit pitcher Phil Beard gave the Kings all they could handle, but in the end, Los Angeles left Sportsman's Park with a win, 2-1. Beard allowed 2 runs on 5 hits over 7 innings. Jay Vasey got credit for the save for Los Angeles. It was his 15th of the year. The win for the Kings raised their record to 40-29.

A.J. Kessens had a big solo home run for the Kings in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Los Angeles leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a fastball from Phil Beard, who led the AL in wins with 18 in 2049, and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Kings on top, 2-0.

"It wasn't easy, but we got it done," said Kessens.
