May 1, 2006: Entering May Like a Lion

Fleetwood entered may like a lion, with a dominating 15-0 win over Boston. Roaring the loudest was Miguel Cabrera, who began the month by collecting 5 hits in 5 at-bats. Included among those hits were a double, two home runs and 5 runs batted in.

Derrek Lee (4-5, 4 runs) and Esteban Loaiza (6.1 innings, 5 hits, 0 runs, 5 strikeouts) excelled as well. Marcus Giles, on the other hand, continued his sluggish season with no hits in 3 at-bats.

Tomorrow's matchup: Boston (Kevin Millwood) at Fleetwood (Dave Bush).
