The 4-RBI night of designated hitter Stephen Barker, who is on pace to hit 19 home runs this season, helped the Denver Cutthroats triumph, 6-4, over the Arizona Suns. Ryan Matlock notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2.1 innings. His record now sits at 2-0. Denver, at 44-17, is cruising.

Barker had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a 1-1 fastball from Omar Thomas, he banged a 2-run home run to left, giving the Cutthroats a 6-4 lead. It was the 2nd home run of the year for Barker.

"It was a pretty good night," said Barker.
