Minutemen Victors, 7-3, at Phoenix
Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Boston Minutemen and Phoenix Firebirds.

The Boston Minutemen cut down the Phoenix Firebirds by the score of 7-3, with the largest share of the credit going to right fielder Anthony Santander. Santander was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for the Minutemen. The winning pitcher was 27-year old right-handed pitcher Kyle Bradish. He tossed 95 pitches over 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits.

D.J. LeMahieu had a big solo home run for the Minutemen in the top of the fifth inning. With Boston leading 2-1 and the bases empty, he sized up a fastball from Lucas Giolito, who is tied for 9th in the FL in quality starts with 13, and punished it. The result was his 4th home run of the season, which put the Minutemen on top, 3-1.

"You work hard, day in and day out, hoping to give the fans something to cheer about. Today was a good day," LeMahieu told the Boston Times.

The triumph puts Boston at 66-61 for the season.
