5 Straight Wins for Stars
Starting pitcher Chris Paddack pitched well enough to help the Cincinnati Stars beat the Chicago Explorers, 4-3. In 5.1 innings, Paddack surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 2. He allowed 3 runs. Tyler Wells was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 1 of 2 save opportunities.

Julio Rodriguez drove in one run for Cincinnati. The 24-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With one out and a runner on 3rd, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Grayson Rodriguez. It was his 7th RBI of the season.

"Chris was doing a good job pouring in strikes," said Cincinnati manager Pat Padula.

The 4th-place Stars have won 5 in a row.
