Yahnel goes 3-for-3, Ignites Arizona Offense
Arizona third baseman Mandel Yahnel was a significant contributor in his team's 8-6 triumph over the Houston Mavericks. He went 3-3 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2 for the Suns. The Suns now own a record of 16-31.

Felipe Gutierrez, who is tied for 5th in the WC in hits with 59, took Houston hurler Benno de Smit deep in the bottom of the fifth. His 3-run home run put the Suns on top, 5-2. In all, Gutierrez had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

"I like winning," Yahnel told the Arizona Daily. "I may joke around, but when it comes down to it, winning is the most important thing."
