Spiders Drop Another One
The Charlotte Knights grabbed a 10-8 win over the Cleveland Spiders at League Park. Charlotte second baseman Chuck Knoblauch was 3 for 4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs to earn player of the game honors. The Spiders, now 52-53, have lost 5 in a row.

Jason Giambi gave Charlotte a good at-bat in the top of the fourth inning. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a 3-run home run to help send Charlotte to the win.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Giambi. "And not try to do too much."
