Firebirds Victors, 6-4, at Denver
The inspired effort of Denver third baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand was not enough to prevent a loss, 6-4, to the Phoenix Firebirds. Encarnacion-Strand was 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Ryan Pepiot was the winning pitcher. Over 5.1 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, with 1 walk and 4 strikeouts. Phoenix, at 47-50, sits in 4th place in the Federal Western Division.

Fernando Tatis Jr. had a big 2-run home run for the Firebirds in the top of the third inning. With Phoenix leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a splitter from 31-year old right-handed pitcher Frankie Montas and punished it. The result was his 29th home run of the season, which put the Firebirds on top, 4-1.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Tatis Jr..
