Eagles Rebuff Lions, 4-3
The Detroit Lions were defeated, 4-3, by the Philadelphia Eagles at Ford Field, even though Rodrigo Arzola pitched well for Detroit. Javier Lira got the win, improving to 4-3. He held the Lions to 3 runs on 6 hits over 6.1 innings, while striking out 4 and walking 4. Their 25-23 record puts the Eagles second in the National Conference East.

Philadelphia used a well-timed hit by Ricardo Rodriguez to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Eagles ahead, 3-2. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

Rodriguez attributed the win to his team's "hyper resolve."
