Feller allowed just one run on 4 hits while striking out 11 to top the Detroit Rockets 6-1. Detroit&#8217;s Frank Tanana made it a pitcher&#8217;s duel through 4 innings, retiring the first 14 batters he faced before giving up back-to-back singles to Al Kaline and Charlie Gehringer. Adrian Beltr\u00e9 followed with a 2-run double. Joe DiMaggio added a 2-run home run in the 6th, and Dick Allen hit his Maelstrom-leading 18th homer in the 8th. Feller&#8217;s only run came in the 6th when he hit \u00c1lex Rodr\u00edguez to lead off the inning. Rafael Palmeiro doubled, and Mark McGwire hit a sacrifice fly to score the sole Detroit run in the loss. The win assures New York a .500 record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/POPsS2\/Scoresheets\/05-29-2023_NYA_DET.png\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/POPsS2\/Scoresheets\/05-29-2023_NYA_DET.png\">Swats @ Rockets &#8211; 5\/29\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Swats ace Bob Feller struggled most of the season, but everything came together in his final start of the season.
