It was the longest outing for a Suns starter this year. Tim Worthington yielded only one run on two hits and a walk over the final two innings to preserve the win.

Mike Carp went 3-4 with a walk, 3 RBI's, 2 runs, and his league leading 11th homerun of the year. Carp, who also had a triple, finished a double away from the cycle. Corey Coles, Rafael Arroyo, and Grant Psomas all added long balls for the Suns (23-10) in the win.

Thursday at 6:30pm the Suns go for the win, sending Jose Sanchez (6-0) to the hill versus RHP Luis Valdez. The Suns come bask for US Cellular Fireworks Night against Greensboro, starting a four game homestand on Friday. For tickets call 301-791-6266.
