Tatis Jr. Slugs Firebirds to 6-5 Win
In the 6-5 Phoenix win over New York, the impact of Fernando Tatis Jr. was substantial. Tatis Jr., who finished 3rd in the FL in OPS with .915 in 2021, was 2 for 5 with 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice. Today's win puts Phoenix at 64-60, while New York falls to 49-75.

With Phoenix leading 2-1 in the top of the second, Tatis Jr. hit a slider from Simeon Woods Richardson for a 3-run home run. It was his 27th home run of the season and put the Firebirds ahead, 5-1.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said New York manager Nick Ruport. "The effort was great."
