Athletics Pull Out Late-Game Win, 4-3
The Kansas City Athletics faced a tough opponent in Los Angeles pitcher Mike Merdinger, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Ballpark of Missouri by a final score of 4-3. Merdinger went 7 innings and allowed 1 run. Andy Barrett snagged the win in relief. He goes to 1-1 on the season. Miguel Torrez suffered the loss. The triumph makes Kansas City 26-51.

The decisive blow was delivered by Andy Wetsch in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run double off fan favorite Miguel Torrez to win the game for Kansas City. The home crowd went nuts.

"This wasn't a good win," said Wetsch. "It was a great win."
