Warriors Win, 5-4, Versus Tampa Bay
Warriors Park was the site of a competitive game between the Tampa Bay Thunder and Washington Warriors.

Behind a solid performance from designated hitter Bill Rodriguez, the Washington Warriors defeated the Tampa Bay Thunder, 5-4. Rodriguez was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Warriors. Ryan Embree earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. His record is now 2-3.

Rodriguez had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a 2-1 curveball from Damani Peterson, he banged a solo home run to left, giving the Warriors a 5-4 lead. It was the 3rd home run of the year for Rodriguez.

"We ground out the win," said Rodriguez. "That's all that matters."

The Thunder fall to 7-9 and continue their uninspiring start to the 2026 season.
