A tremendous complete-game shutout for Tommy Milone leads the Red Wings to victory.  Jose Berrios isn't terrible, but isn't good enough for the Lookouts.  Three three-run innings carry the Miracle.  The Kernels win the completion of the suspended game but waste the pitching of Mat Batts in the scheduled game.
