Athletics Deal Senators 7-3 Defeat
The Kansas City Athletics topped the Washington Senators, 7-3, in Western Conference action at Ballpark of Missouri. The standout performance belonged to Kansas City pitcher and Yamagata, Japan, native Juzo Matsumoto. The last-place Athletics now sit at 20-29.

Keinosuke Wakabayashi had a big 3-run home run for the Athletics in the bottom of the eighth inning. With Kansas City leading 4-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a fastball from 29-year old left-handed pitcher Alfonso Basulto and punished it. The result was his 2nd home run of the season, which put the Athletics on top, 7-1.

"The key at this level is throwing strike one," said Matsumoto. "Successful pitchers do it."
