Liu Powers Thunderbirds to 3-0 Win
The bats were silent much of the day at Legednary Park. But two-time All-Star Tan Liu produced just enough offense to carry the Thunderbirds past the Kansas City Athletics, 3-0. Liu went 4-4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Javy Alamillo, 4-5, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. Phoenix is now 77-80.

Liu had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a 2-1 changeup from Justin Samsel, he banged a 3-run home run to left-center, giving the Thunderbirds a 3-0 lead. It was the 11th home run of the year for Liu.

Liu was in a reflective mood after the contest. He told the Phoenix Citizen, "Every game is it's own challenge. That's what keeps the competitive fire alive."
