Knights Stumble, Lose to Spiders
Cleveland rode a decent outing from starter Juan Nieves to victory over the Charlotte Knights at League Park. The final score was 8-4. Nieves picked up the win for Cleveland, going 8.1 innings. He gave up 4 runs on 9 hits. He now sports a record of 7-4. With the win, the Spiders improved to 39-35.

Kevin Mitchell in the bottom of the sixth had a productive at-bat. With the bases empty and the Spiders leading 3-2, the Cleveland third baseman hit a solo home run.

"Throwing strikes was the main thing," Nieves said.
