Explorers Get 7-4 Win Versus Tampa Bay
The Chicago Explorers picked up a win at Baron's Ballyard, dropping the Tampa Bay Bandits, 7-4. Shota Imanaga, who is tied for 10th in the UL with a 1.18 WHIP, was the difference-maker. Chicago is now 50-51. Tampa Bay is 63-38.

Jon Berti had a big 3-run home run for the Explorers in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Chicago leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a changeup from MacKenzie Gore, who is tied for 4th in the FL with a 11.1 K/9 rate, and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Explorers on top, 4-0.

"Shota pitched like a champ," said Chicago manager Rock Carpenter.
