Detroit Beats Atlanta, 6-4
The Detroit Lions stopped the Atlanta Falcons, 6-4, behind an impressive performance from Eddie Maldonado. The 23-year old left fielder made life miserable for Atlanta pitching. He went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs. With this game in the books, Detroit is 17-18, Atlanta 13-22.

Detroit left fielder Jason Egbert contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the first. With two down, he hit a cutter to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 19th hit of the season and put the Lions ahead, 2-0.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Maldonado.
