Phoenix Loses, 3-1, in 10
In a low-scoring contest between the Indianapolis Eagles and the Phoenix Gladiators, Rodney Caporn, who finished 3rd in the AC in strikeouts with 285 in 2019, proved to be the difference. The Indianapolis left-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-1 Eagles win. Mike Canales, now 6-3, was credited with the win in 4 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 3 and walking 0. Phoenix's current losing streak is now 7 games.

Indianapolis relied on the bat of John Thaxton to get the win. The center fielder ripped a run-scoring triple in the top of the tenth inning to put the Eagles ahead, 2-1. For the game, Thaxton had 1 double and 1 triple in 5 at-bats.

Afterward, Phoenix manager Matt Tamayo said: "We were guessing wrong on pitches, and that's something we've got to get away from."
