Firebirds Lose at Home, 6-5
The Houston Rangers did just enough to sneak past the Phoenix Firebirds, 6-5, at Firebirds Ballpark. Houston pitcher Walt Samuels, in particular, had a standout performance. Samuels, now 5-1, was the winner. In 6.2 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 5, walking 0, and allowing 4 runs. The third-place Rangers have won 4 straight.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Dallas Baker? The slick-fielding second baseman Baker stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to put Houston up, 4-3. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"We found a way to get it done," Samuels said.
