Alex Guilzar led Phoenix to a win over Kansas City. The final score was 2-1. The Ushuaia, Argentina native collected 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. Francisco Gonzales, 5-3, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. Ko Morita sewed up the save, his 9th.

The Thunderbirds got a big at-bat from left fielder Billy Morf. For the game, Morf went 1 for 4 with a double. In the bottom of the fifth, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 36th double of the season gave Phoenix a 2-1 lead.

"Clutch hitting plus clutch pitching usually equals a win," said Morf.

This win makes it 6 in a row for Phoenix.
