The Athletics grabbed a win, 3-1, at Legednary Park, overcoming a fine effort from Phoenix pitcher John Goeman. Goeman went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. Chase Kessler earned his 11th save in 11 chances. Their 89-61 record puts the Athletics first in the Western Conference Mike Stump Division.

Chris Horn came through with a big-time hit for Kansas City. The first baseman smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 3-1. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"We busted our tails," said Phoenix manager Joe Busch. "But we came up short."
