Bulls Win at Los Angeles, 7-6
The 7-6 Kansas City win over Los Angeles was due in large part to Hal Lahr. The Bulls center fielder went 4 for 5 with 4 singles. He scored 3 runs. Kansas City pitcher Dick Scorza got the win, upping his record to 5-1. Dario Fontanez got the loss. Picking up his 10th save was 23-year old right-handed pitcher Bob Crosby.

It could have been a different outcome for Kansas City, had it not been for Emilio Cortez, the 27-year old right fielder . Cortez contributed a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put Kansas City up, 3-2.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Cortez said after the game.

The victory gives Kansas City a record of 21-18.
