Wood Slugs Millers to 8-6 Win
The Minnesota Millers beat the Chicago Explorers, 8-6, at Target Field. James Wood, in particular, was impressive. He belted 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. Logan Henderson earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. He upped his record to 7-3. Jhoan Duran was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 36 of 37 save opportunities.

With Minnesota trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Wood hit a fastball from Shota Imanaga for a 3-run home run. It was his 24th home run of the season and put the Millers ahead, 3-2.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Wood told the Minnesota Herald. "It's as simple as that."

With the win, Minnesota upped its record to 87-73.
