Athletics Outmuscle Cincinnati, 11-8
The Kansas City Athletics defeated the Cincinnati Twins, 11-8, at Ballpark of Missouri. Leading the charge for Kansas City was left fielder Ricky Morales. He was 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Alex Cuevas collected his 2nd save. The Athletics raised their record to 53-78.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the bottom of the second. That's when Athletics catcher Jordan Flores hit a fastball from Brian Burda for a 2-run single. Just like that, Kansas City was up, 2-1.

"Guys always talk about winning games because of the 'little things,'" Flores told the Kansas City Bulletin. "Call me old fashioned, but I think baseball is about the big things -- like scoring more runs."
