Phoenix catcher Sean Murphy had 4 ribbies while helping his team defeat the Cincinnati Stars, 8-5. Phoenix starter Ty Madden was credited with the win after throwing 79 pitches over 6 innings. His record now stands at 2-1. The Stars, now 5-9, continue their sluggish start.

With Phoenix leading 5-4 in the bottom of the seventh, Murphy hit a fastball from Jose Butto for a 3-run home run. It was his 4th home run of the season and put the Firebirds ahead, 8-4.

"The key is not trying to do too much," said Murphy.
