Extra-Inning Walk-Off Win for Spiders
Marquis Grissom made an impact in the 6-5 Cleveland win over Kansas City. Grissom, who finished 3rd in the FL in stolen bases with 52 last year, went 2-5 with 2 home runs and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2. The 'W' lifts Cleveland's record to 46-56.

With a runner on 1st in the bottom of the 11th, Garret Anderson delivered the knockout blow when he hit a walk-off run-scoring double to win it for Cleveland. In the contest, Anderson went 2 for 5 with 2 doubles and a walk.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Anderson told the Cleveland Herald. "It's as simple as that."
