Bluebirds Win at Kansas City, 4-1
Brooklyn starter Bill Keiser put the Kansas City offense in a vise grip. The left-hander relied heavily on his curveball in leading the Bluebirds to a 4-1 win. Keiser yielded 1 run over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 1, and struck out 4. His record improves to 3-1. Frank D'Amico earned the save for Brooklyn, his 1st.

Lenny Winter had a direct impact on the outcome. Winter contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put Brooklyn up, 3-1.

Keiser attributed the win to his team's "steely resolve."

The victory puts Brooklyn at 51-76.
