Athletics Walk It Off for 5th Win of Season
The Kansas City Athletics picked up a win at Ballpark of Missouri, topping the Phoenix Thunderbirds, 4-3. On the mound for Kansas City was right-hander D.J. Harkins. He played a principal role in the triumph. The Thunderbirds drop to 4-6 and continue their inconsistent start to the 2085 season.

Eddie Simon was the walk-off hero for Kansas City. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Athletics second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"It's what good teams do, find a way to win," said Simon.
