Phoenix Downed, 9-6, by Roses
Oakland catcher Drake Baldwin had a 3-RBI game, which helped his team beat the Phoenix Firebirds, 9-6. Brock Burke, credited with the win in relief, is now 5-2. He allowed no runs on no hits in 1 innings. Raisel Iglesias, credited with the save, is now 34 for 38 in save opportunities.

Oakland used the timely hitting of Teoscar Hernandez to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Roses on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"This win gets us that much closer to where we want to be," Baldwin said in postgame remarks.

The first-place Roses, at 83-47, lead the Union League Western Division by 7 games.
