The Cincinnati Twins overcame a good performance by Kansas City second baseman Brandon Russell to knock off Kansas City, 5-4, at Ballpark of Missouri. Russell was 4-4 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times. Edwin Vazquez got credit for the win, improving to 6-3. He allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. Cincinnati's record now stands at 52-75, placing them last in the Eastern Conference Kamuzu Division.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Geoff Tankersley? The 26-year old left fielder Tankersley stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put Cincinnati up, 5-2. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Both teams played hard," said Cincinnati manager Ryan Stoops.
