No one was more impactful than Matt Linkous in the 15-5 Tucson win over Kansas City. Linkous went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3. With the win, the Toros improved to 63-88.

Tucson won the game in part because of Zahi Cobo. The right fielder ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Toros ahead, 7-2. For the game, Cobo had 1 double and 1 home run in 3 at-bats.

"Every time I go up there, I try and hit a ball hard," said Linkous.
