Athletics Stun Thunderbirds, 6-2
The Athletics grabbed a win, 6-2, at Ballpark of Missouri, overcoming a fine effort from Phoenix pitcher John Hersey. Hersey went 6.1 innings and allowed 2 runs. Kansas City reliever Rin Gaxiola picked up the win. Jason Mouland, who finished 3rd in the WC in saves with 34 last year, took the loss for Phoenix. Kansas City is now 60-84, while Phoenix is 78-65.

Kansas City took a 5-2 lead on Dave Yerges's 13th double of the season. The bases-clearing double, which Yerges hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Phoenix pitcher Miguel Soto visibly frustrated.

"Getting the win feels nice," said Yerges. "More importantly, I had a good game."
