Kansas City Beaten, 6-3, by Minneapolis
Minneapolis Vikings starter Steve McFarlen found his groove in his team's 6-3 win over the Kansas City Athletics. Phil Payne snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 1 hit over 2 innings. He's now 2-2 on the season. Minneapolis, at 39-41, holds down third place in the Western Conference Brian Boots Division.

Minneapolis needed the clutch hitting of Alex Rigual to notch the win. The first baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Vikings on top, 5-3. For the game, Rigual had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

McFarlen called the win "a pick-me-upper."
