The Houston Mavericks racked up a win at Mavericks Ballpark, bumping off the Arizona Suns, 8-2. Yasusaburo Kunishige, who started for Houston, pitched effectively for his team. Kunishige picked up the win for Houston, going 8 innings. He gave up 1 run on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 1-0. The loss drops Arizona to 0-2.

The Mavericks got a big hit from left fielder Jesus Mendieta. Facing Arizona pitcher Sergio Gonzalez in the bottom of the eighth, Mendieta pounded a 3-run home run to right. His 1st home run of the season put the Mavericks ahead, 8-1.

In comments to the Houston Bulletin, Mendieta admitted that he doesn't always push himself. "But the results," he said, "speak for themselves."
