Led by Duviel Zaldivar, the Kansas City Athletics downed the Tucson Toros, 5-4. Zaldivar was 2-5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice for the Athletics. Alex Aguilar recorded his 2nd save for Kansas City. With the win, Kansas City has a record of 56-83. Tucson falls to 64-74.

Zaldivar had a game-changing home run in the top of the tenth. On a 2-0 fastball from Ignacio Noriega, he banged a solo home run to center, giving the Athletics a 5-4 lead. It was the 21st home run of the year for Zaldivar.

"If I can still take nourishment, I can still hit," said the ageless Zaldivar.
