Johnson goes 3-for-4 to Pull Spiders to .500
A 4-RBI performance from first baseman Howard Johnson, who led the FL in home runs with 48 in 1993, led the Cleveland Spiders to a 14-7 win over the Boston Red Sox. Bret Saberhagen got the win, improving to 2-4. He worked 7 innings, giving up 5 runs on 13 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 3. The Spiders bumped their record to 19-19 with this latest triumph.

An important at-bat for the Spiders came in the top of the seventh, when center fielder Marquis Grissom stroked a grand slam home run. That made the score 10-3 in favor of Cleveland. For the day, Grissom was 3-5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 5.

Spiders manager Wilson Ogle wasn't all too pleased, despite the win, telling reporters that the performance highlighted some clear areas for improvement moving forward. He refused to be more specific, however. "I'm not gonna publicize our weaknesses," he said. "That stuff stays in the clubhouse."
