Strawberry Slugs Spiders to 8-6 Win
Cleveland designated hitter Darryl Strawberry had a 3-RBI performance, which helped his team grab a 8-6 win over the Charlotte Knights. Bret Saberhagen went 8 innings for Cleveland to pick up the win. The right-hander was charged with 6 earned runs. He scattered 9 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 6. His record improves to 5-6. The Spiders now have a record of 38-35.

A crucial at-bat came with runners on 1st and 2nd and two out in the bottom of the fifth inning. That's when left fielder Raul Ibanez hit a run-scoring single. The Spiders went on to win.

"We'll take this win and move on," said Strawberry.
