The Phoenix Firebirds defeated the Philadelphia Phalanx, 8-3, in Federal League action at Citizens Bank Park. Phoenix pitcher Ranger Suarez had a standout performance. Phoenix reliever Ryan Bergert picked up the win, upping his record to 4-2. Evan Sisk absorbed the loss. The loss makes Philadelphia 27-40.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Philadelphia pitcher Lucas Erceg, he hit a 3-1 slider for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Phoenix on top, 5-3.

"That was your kind of game, if you like high drama," said Firebirds manager Pat McGoldrick.
