Hogs Pick Up 4-1 Win Against Phoenix
The Toronto Hogs topped the Phoenix Firebirds, 4-1, in Union League action at Chase Field. The game was highlighted by the performance of Toronto pitcher Matt Manning. The winner was Manning. He threw 6.1 innings of 5-hit ball. The loser was Alex Cobb. Kenley Jansen got the save, his 27th in 31 chances.

Toronto won the game in part because of Elly De La Cruz. The shortstop ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Hogs ahead, 3-1. For the game, De La Cruz had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"Matt had good stuff. When he did get into a compromising count, he made the most of it," said Toronto manager Anthony Cepparulo.

Toronto is now 76-78. Phoenix is 90-64.
