Guzmán Helps Firebirds Beat Yankees2, 9-7
The 9-7 Atlanta (GCL) win over New York A2 (GCL) was due largely to Arturo Guzmán. The Firebirds center fielder was 2-2 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Earning his 4th save of the year was Eric Mitchell. The Firebirds, now 14-18, know that wins in August count the same as wins in September.

Guzmán had a game-changing home run in the top of the seventh. On a 2-0 fastball from Ethan Ward, he banged a 3-run home run to right-center, giving the Firebirds a 8-5 lead. It was the 1st home run of the year for Guzmán.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Guzmán told the Atlanta (GCL) Daily News.
