Oswald Peraza powered the Chicago Explorers to a win over the Los Angeles Spirit. The final score was 8-5.

Chicago pitcher Grayson Rodriguez got the win, upping his record to 9-9. Charlie Morton got the loss. Jeremiah Estrada notched his 30th save in 31 chances.

With Chicago leading 1-0 in the bottom of the third, Peraza hit a knuckle curve from Charlie Morton for a 2-run home run. It was his 17th home run of the season and put the Explorers ahead, 3-0.

"There's a lot of fight left in this team," said Peraza.

The slumping Spirit have lost 7 straight.
