Firebirds Mow Down Phalanx, 9-3
Phoenix registered a win at Chase Field by beating the Philadelphia Phalanx, 9-3. Pitcher Alex Cobb was one reason why the Firebirds triumphed. The triumph puts Phoenix at 71-49 for the season.

Dansby Swanson went 3-5 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 4 runs for Phoenix. The 31-year old shortstop had a key at-bat in the bottom of the third. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 0-0 tie with a 2-run single off Bailey Falter. It was his 100th hit of the season.

"I got in a good groove," said Cobb. "I was getting some swings and misses."
