Lake Monsters Pop Maple Leafs, 9-4
The Minnesota Lake Monsters racked up a win at Monster Island on Lake Union, bumping off the Toronto Maple Leafs, 9-4. Thurman Elliott, who started for Minnesota, pitched effectively for his team. The 4th-place Lake Monsters hiked their record to 34-42.

Héctor Torres had a big 3-run home run for the Lake Monsters in the bottom of the third inning. With Minnesota leading 3-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he sized up a fastball from Mason Ackerman, who is tied for 7th in the EL in quality starts with 10, and punished it. The result was his 2nd home run of the season, which put the Lake Monsters on top, 6-1.

"We take it day by day here," said Torres, "and today was a good one for us."
