Thomson Dominant in Cleveland Win
The Cleveland Spiders got a rather unremarkable outing from starting pitcher John Thomson, but it was good enough for the club to take a 5-1 decision over the Minnesota Twins. The Spiders, now 10-23, know that wins in May count the same as wins in September.

Thomson allowed 1 run over 9 innings. He also racked up 7 strikeouts.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Thomson, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."
