Athletics Lose as Twins Stage Late Rally
The Kansas City Athletics could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Matt McMillan into a win. Instead, the Cincinnati Twins prevailed, 8-5. McMillan threw 6.0 innings of 5-hit ball. The last-place Twins are 53-75.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Chico Seguito? The Cincinnati shortstop had a bases-clearing double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Twins on top, 7-5. For the game, Seguito had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I warned the team before the game," losing manager Joe Monagle told reporters, "that I'm wearing the same pair of undies until we win."
