Bears Get One-Run Win at Phoenix
The Denver Bears picked up a win at Chase Field, taking down the Phoenix Firebirds, 4-3. Starting pitcher Seth Lugo was a big reason why. Denver is now 15-18, Phoenix 17-16.

The Bears got a big at-bat from left fielder Samad Taylor. For the game, Taylor was 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the top of the sixth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 2nd home run of the season gave Denver a 4-2 lead.

"Seth had a little bit of everything going," said Bears manager Aaron Hill. "Really sharp performance."
