In the 5-4 Kansas City win over Los Angeles, the impact of Ken Durick was substantial. Durick was 2 for 3 with 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Picking up the win was Skip Carter. He went 6.2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits. The left--hander struck out 6 and walked 3. Andy Luce earned save number 13 this season.

Durick had an important at-bat with runners on 1st and 3rd in the bottom of the seventh, when he hit a sacrifice fly. The Bulls went on to win.

"Another day, another win. On to the next one," Durick told the Kansas City Bulletin.

Kansas City is 50-63 and Los Angeles, with the loss, 50-62.
