5 Straight Wins for Firebirds
The Phoenix Firebirds defeated the Texas Vipers by the score of 8-5, with the biggest share of the credit going to right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr.. Tatis Jr. was 1 for 3 with a home run and 3 walks, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2 for the Firebirds on the day. Ty Madden, 5-2, earned the win in relief. He allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 2.2 innings. Edwin Diaz was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 20 of 23 save opportunities.

Phoenix used the timely hitting of Lourdes Gurriel Jr. to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Firebirds on top, 8-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Whenever you can come through for your ball club, it's a great thing," said Tatis Jr..

Phoenix has run its win streak to 5 consecutive.
