Titans Stay Hot With 8-3 Win
The Houston Titans downed the Phoenix Firebirds, 8-3, at New League Park. The Titans were led by Eloy Jimenez. Jimenez went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Tomoyuki Sugano, the winning pitcher, is now 1-0. He went 6.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits, while fanning 6 and walking 2. The win brings the Titans to 13-5, a promising start as the team looks to return to the playoffs.

Houston center fielder Derek Hill contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the second. With two down, he hit a fastball to center field for a 2-run single. It was his 17th hit of the season and put the Titans ahead, 2-0.

"I still think this team can play even better," Jimenez told the Houston News.
