Taylor Homers Twice in 7-3 Win
Kansas City first baseman Chris Taylor had 4 ribbies while helping his team defeat the Cleveland Bobcats, 7-3. Picking up the win was Skip Carter. He went 8 innings, allowing 3 runs on 8 hits. The left--hander struck out 4 and walked 5. The defeat makes Cleveland 57-49.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Buddy Shingleton to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bulls on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I still think this team can play even better," Taylor told the Kansas City News.
