Dragons Get Hard-Earned Win, Stop Athletics, 2-1
The Portland Dragons had to overcome a fine effort from Kansas City pitcher Keaton Bozek to win, 2-1, at Ballpark of Missouri. Bozek went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. Ryan Mena, 2-1, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 2 hits in 1.1 innings. The win boosted Portland to 74-67.

Portland needed the clutch hitting of Hideji Yamanaka to seal the deal. The designated hitter swatted a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Dragons on top, 2-1. For the game, Yamanaka had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Scoring was at a premium tonight," Yamanaka said.
