Rice goes 3-for-5 in Kansas City Win
Kansas City second baseman Steve Rice was instrumental in helping the Athletics triumph, 8-7, over the Phoenix Thunderbirds. Rice went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Fujio Yamashita, the winning pitcher, improved to 1-0. He pitched 5 innings, giving up 5 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 1 and walking 3. Justin Samsel recorded his 1st save for Kansas City.

With Kansas City leading 1-0 in the bottom of the second, Rice hit a changeup from Arturo Noboa for a 3-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Athletics ahead, 4-0.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Phoenix manager Joe Busch. "The effort was great."

With the win, Kansas City climbs to 4-1.
