Carolina Panthers starter Cruz Morales was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Atlanta Falcons, 7-3. The defeat makes the Falcons 9-16.

Kyle Kroon delivered a big hit for Carolina. The left fielder drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Panthers ahead, 2-1. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

"We came out on top and that's all I can ask for," said Morales.
