Kansas City starter Dick Scorza put a stranglehold on the New York offense. The left-hander had complete command of his fastball in leading the Bulls to a 6-0 win. Scorza, now 12-8, was the winner. In 7.2 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 3, walking 0, and allowing no runs. Kansas City has run its win streak to 6 straight.

Kansas City used the hitting of Emilio Cortez to pick up the win. The center fielder clubbed a grand slam home run in the top of the third inning to put the Bulls on top, 5-0. For the game, Cortez had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Not too many highlights on our side," said losing manager Timothy Widholm.
