Athletics Thwart Vikings, 5-3
Kansas City Athletics starter Kelvin Smit found his groove in his team's 5-3 win over the Minneapolis Vikings. Smit, now 1-1, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 7, walking 0, and allowing 3 runs. Kansas City now has a record of 4-3.

Kansas City used a clutch at-bat from Kurt Jensen to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 5-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Kelvin just went about his business, throwing strikes," said Kansas City manager Joe Monagle.
