Firebirds Earn 5-3 Win Against Hogs
The Firebirds grabbed a win, 5-3, at Chase Field, overcoming a fine effort from Toronto pitcher James Paxton. Paxton went 5 innings and allowed 1 run. Phoenix is now 91-64, while Toronto is 76-79.

The decisive blow was delivered by Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in the bottom of the 13th when he hit a 2-run home run off 29-year old right-handed pitcher Jordan Hicks to win the game for Phoenix. The home crowd went nuts.

"We fed off the energy of the crowd at the end," Gurriel Jr. said.
