Juan Merino made an impact in the 7-6 Phoenix win over Tucson. Merino, who is tied for 2nd in the WC in doubles with 45, went 3-4 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Anthony Taylor came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2.1 innings. His record now stands at 2-1. Zach Baiza closed the game out for Phoenix, earning his 44th save.

Merino had an important at-bat with the bases empty in the top of the sixth, when he hit a double. The Thunderbirds went on to win.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Merino said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."

Phoenix is now 75-66. Tucson is 67-75.
