Buffalo first baseman Al Lindberg made his presence felt in the 8-3 Rangers triumph over the Kansas City Athletics. Lindberg went 2-4 with 2 doubles and was hit by a pitch, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Mike O'Keefe earned the win to go to 9-3. He allowed 3 runs on 4 hits, with 1 walk and 3 strikeouts in 6 innings of work. The Rangers, at 65-33, have a comfortable 23-game lead in their division.

The game turned with two out in the bottom of the fourth when Lindberg, who finished 3rd in the EC in on-base percentage with .407 last year, hit a 2-run double. It propelled the Rangers into the lead, 5-3.

Lindberg attributed the win to "a well-rounded effort by the whole team."
