Pizzas Stymie Brooklyn, Take 6-1 Win
Nate Spinks brought his A-game to help Detroit defeat the Brooklyn Knights, 6-1. Spinks yielded 1 run over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 3 hits, walked 0, and struck out 5. His record improves to 3-9. Jose Giminez, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 19th save.

Curtis Howland had a big solo home run for the Pizzas in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Detroit leading 2-1 and the bases empty, he got a changeup from Greg McDowell, who is tied for 10th in the AL with a 3.78 ERA, and swatted a home run to right-center. It was his 16th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Pizzas ahead, 3-1.

"A confident pitcher is a dangerous thing," said Detroit manager Evan Compton. "That's what Nate is right now."

The win puts the Pizzas at 35-38, while the Knights drop to 41-32.
