Aces Rally to Win
Las Vegas registered a win at Ballpark of Missouri by beating the Kansas City Athletics, 4-2. Pitcher Bullet McGraw was one reason why the Aces triumphed. Steve Grantham, now 3-2, was credited with the win in 1.2 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 3 and walking 0. The win lifted the Las Vegas record to 61-51.

Junpei Fujiwara came through with a big-time hit for Las Vegas. The right fielder smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 4-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"We did a lot of things right," said Fujiwara.
