The Minneapolis Millers got a good effort from starter Ken T Johnson in defeating the Phoenix Firebirds at Phoenix Muni. The final score was 5-2. Minneapolis has a 3-game win streak, while Phoenix has lost 3 in a row.

Minneapolis used the clutch hitting of Jose Valentin to snag the win. The shortstop drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Millers ahead, 4-2. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"I'm not out there for personal accomplishments," Valentin told a Minneapolis Chronicle reporter after the game. "I'm out there to help the team win, and that's what we did today."
