Stars Deal Spirit 5-4 Defeat
Julio Rodriguez left his imprint on the 5-4 Cincinnati win against the Los Angeles Spirit. Rodriguez, who finished 4th in the UL in hits with 186 in 2023, was 2-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs. Tyler Ferguson, credited with the save, is now 15 for 17 in save opportunities. Cincinnati has now reeled off 6 straight wins.

Cincinnati used a clutch at-bat from Marcus Betts to capture the win. The shortstop hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Stars ahead, 4-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Afterward, Los Angeles manager Bobby Kirkpatrick said: "We've hit a rough patch."
