Spiders Prevail, 2-1, Over Toronto
The Toronto Red Birds wasted an inspired, 7.1-inning effort from starter Seth Roussel, falling 2-1 to the Cleveland Spiders at Cy Young Stadium. Iván Gusmán, now 3-6, was credited with the win. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 2 and walking 0. Vicente Maldonado earned the save, his 20th, for the Spiders.

The Spiders got a big at-bat from center fielder Steve Roberts. For the game, Roberts was 1 for 4 with a double. In the bottom of the fifth, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 23rd double of the season gave Cleveland a 2-1 lead.

"The old adage is true," said Roberts. "Good pitching stops good hitting."

The 4th-place Spiders have won 4 in a row.
