Gothams Upend Lions, 6-5
The New York City Gothams besoiled an otherwise fine performance by St. Louis shortstop Juan Chaves by beating the Lions, 6-5, at The Lions Hearth. Chaves went 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Ryousei Fujii claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 1.2 innings. His record stands at 1-0. Tetsuhiro Kawakami closed out the game, earning his 11th save.

The Gothams beat the Lions in part due to timely hitting. Case in point: the two-out single Cristiano Sperafico produced in the top of the seventh. Batting against Fernando Espinoza, Sperafico gave his team the lead, 6-5, when he hit a 2-run single.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Sperafico told the New York City Today.

With the win, the Gothams have a record of 28-13.
