Vikings Jolt Thunderbirds, 4-0, with Late Rally
Minneapolis Vikings starter Jose Madrid was on his game, helping his team beat the Phoenix Thunderbirds, 4-0. Minneapolis reliever Joseph Stark picked up the win, upping his record to 2-5. Armando Montoya was saddled with the loss. Zee-loo Kim closed the door for Minneapolis, picking up his 27th save of the year.

Minneapolis took a 4-0 lead on Dante Cuadra's 13th home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which Cuadra hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Phoenix pitcher Armando Montoya visibly frustrated.

Minneapolis manager Ace Cooan praised his team's "energy."

With the victory, the Vikings record stands at 76-84.
