Explorers Lose to Bombers, 5-3
The Chicago Explorers got a superb performance from pitcher Cade Horton, but the Bronx Bombers still won the game, 5-3. Horton threw 5.2 innings of 3-hit ball. Picking up the save was Shelby Miller. He's now 30 for 33 in save chances. With this game in the books, Bronx is 76-66, Chicago 59-83.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Juan Soto? The six-time All-Star Soto stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put Bronx up, 5-3. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Soto told the Bronx Observer.
