Thunderbirds Bang Out 6-5 Win Versus Minneapolis
Phoenix beat Minneapolis at Legednary Park, eking out a 6-5 win. The triumph was primarily due to second baseman Juan Rivera. He went 1-3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Miguel Soto earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings. He upped his record to 5-2. The Phoenix winning streak has reached 3 games.

With Phoenix trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth, Rivera hit a fastball from Hector Moreno for a 3-run home run. It was his 1st home run of the season and put the Thunderbirds ahead, 4-2.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Rivera told the Phoenix Chronicle.
