The Arizona Diamondbacks relied on the hitting of left fielder Butch Huskey to stop the Detroit Tigers, 7-3. For the game, Huskey was 3-6 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. The Diamondbacks bumped their record to 76-76 with this latest triumph.

Huskey had a game-changing home run in the top of the 13th. On a full count changeup from Steve J Kline, he banged a grand slam home run to left-center, giving the Diamondbacks a 7-3 lead. It was the 15th home run of the year for Huskey.

"If it's down the middle," said Huskey, "you might as well hit it."
