Marlins Win Another One
The Florida Marlins trumped the Cleveland Spiders, 9-7, at League Park. Florida shortstop Travis Fryman was named player of the game for his performance. He went 2-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Kevin Appier earned the win to go to 14-8. He allowed 4 earned runs on 4 hits, with 6 walks and 8 strikeouts. Florida has 6 straight wins, Cleveland 3 straight losses.

There were several reasons the Marlins beat the Spiders, but one factor was Todd Walker. In the top of the fourth, the Florida designated hitter came to bat and hit a 2-run single. It staked his team to a 5-4 lead.

"We're obviously playing with a lot of confidence," said Florida manager Stephen Ginter.
