| Dodgers Top Athletics, 6-4 | The 6-4 Yokohama win over Kansas City was due largely to Matt D Williams. The Dodgers third baseman was 3 for 4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times. Clarence Winters got the save, his 5th in 7 chances. The Athletics, at 59-76, have lost 5 straight games.
Yokohama used the timely hitting of Al Lopez to seize the win. The catcher stroked a 2-run single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Dodgers on top, 6-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.
In postgame comments, Williams said, "I think we gave the fans their money's worth."
