Athletics Over Toros, 7-5
Despite a great performance by Tucson designated hitter Jose Pedroza, the Kansas City Athletics defeated the Toros by the score of 7-5 at Aetna Stadium. Pedroza went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. The win went to Chris Romer in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Russ Gillespie took the loss. Keishi Okamoto earned his 5th save, after closing out the game.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Jose Buezo? The Kansas City first baseman had a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Athletics on top, 4-3. For the game, Buezo had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Buezo told the Kansas City Today. "It's as simple as that."

The win makes Kansas City 54-106.
