Despite a great performance by Tucson third baseman Heater Watkins, the Kansas City Athletics defeated the Toros by the score of 6-3 at Aetna Stadium. Watkins was 3-4 with 2 home runs. Bryan Walker got the win, improving to 1-0. He pitched 6 innings, giving up 4 hits and 1 run, while striking out 4 and walking 1. Kansas City bumps their record to 33-46 with the win.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Riichi Otomo? The Kansas City third baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put the Athletics on top, 1-0. For the game, Otomo had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Otomo.
