Booth Shines in 26-5 Detroit Win
Sam Booth impressed in the 26-5 Detroit win over Philadelphia. Booth, who is on pace for 58 RBI this season, went 4 for 5 with a double, 3 singles, and 2 walks. He scored 5 runs and drove in 5. The win gives Detroit a season record of 51-26.

The Sturgeons benefited from an error in the top of the fourth inning. Detroit was leading 15-1 when Napoleon Crane hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put Detroit in front, 17-1.

"We were able to put some good swings on some pitches," Booth told the Detroit Daily News.
