Chicago shortstop Javier Baez contributed significantly to his team's 6-2 win over the Los Angeles Spirit. Baez went 2 for 4 with 1 run scored to lead the offensive attack for the Explorers. By defeating Los Angeles, the last-place Explorers improved to 38-53.

Baez had a game-changing double in the bottom of the seventh. On a 0-1 slider from Roki Sasaki, he banged a bases-clearing double to left-center, giving the Explorers a 5-2 lead. It was the 17th double of the year for Baez.

Baez attributed the win to his team's "focus and intensity."
