Firebirds Score Late, Topple Bandits, 9-6
The inspired effort of Tampa Bay second baseman Jose Altuve was not enough to prevent a loss, 9-6, to the Phoenix Firebirds. Altuve went 2-4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Edwin Diaz, now 6-3, was credited with the win in 3 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 2 hits, while striking out 1 and walking 1. The win puts Phoenix at 68-65 this season.

Phoenix used the timely hitting of Victor Caratini to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Firebirds on top, 8-6. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Caratini said. "We did a good job of that today."
