| Athletics Beat Memphis, 7-6 | The Kansas City Athletics overcame a good performance by Memphis first baseman George Sisler to knock off Memphis, 7-6, at Elvis Stadium. Sisler was 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Matt Lindstrom converted his 8th save in 11 tries. Kansas City is now 28-33, Memphis 39-22.
Kansas City relied on the bat of Danny Murphy to get the win. The left fielder produced a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 7-5. For the game, Murphy had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.
"Winning the game is always the first objective," Murphy said.
