Packers Lose By a Run at Detroit
The rain made it unbearable at times; nonetheless, the faithful who endured the elements enjoyed themselves.

Behind a solid performance from right fielder Luis Benitez, the Detroit Lions defeated the Green Bay Packers, 5-4. Benitez went 2 for 3 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Lions. Gus Pena earned the win for Detroit. He lasted 6.2 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 6. With the win, he raised his record to 1-2. Earning his 3rd save of the year was Alex Perea.

Benitez had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth to put Detroit in front, 5-3. With the bases loaded, he hit a sacrifice fly off Green Bay pitcher Eric Coates.

"I was a little disappointed," said Green Bay manager Jason Gallimore. "We could've and should've scored more runs."

With the loss, Green Bay drops to 5-6.
