Athletics Edge Stars, 6-5
The Kansas City Athletics did just enough to sneak past the Los Angeles Stars, 6-5, at Ballpark of Missouri. Kansas City pitcher Marcos Jurado, in particular, had a standout performance. The win was credited to Chris Whiffen in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Adam Mimnaugh took the loss. Los Angeles now is 5-4.

The Athletics were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth inning, when 13-time Gold Glove Award winner Duviel Zaldivar landed a big blow. He turned a 2-1 fastball from Frank Calderon into a 2-run single. The walk-off single sent the Ballpark of Missouri denizens into a frenzy and sent the Athletics home with a thrilling 6-5 win.

"Marcos's not intimidated by who's stepping into the batter's box," said Kansas City manager Joe Monagle.
