Slide Continues for Vikings
In a low-scoring game between the Kansas City Athletics and the Minneapolis Vikings, pitcher Jose Caro was the difference-maker. The Kansas City right-hander was tough as nails in the 2-1 Athletics win. John Cantlon closed it out for his 7th save. The losses continue to add up for Minneapolis, having now dropped 8 straight.

Andy Wetsch was 1-3 for Kansas City. The 27-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Devon Jenkins. It was his 25th RBI of the season.

"We faced good pitching and still got it done," said Wetsch.
