Dominant Performance by Foster in Kansas City Win
The Kansas City Monarchs got great pitching from 23-year old right-handed pitcher A. Rube Foster, allowing them to bump off the Houston Colt 45s, 2-1. Craig Kimbrel converted his 12th save in 12 tries. The victory gives Kansas City a record of 66-64.

Foster earned the win to move to 10-5. In his 8-inning performance, he scattered 3 hits, striking out 10 and walking 2. The right-hander allowed the Colt 45s few scoring opportunities.

"Main thing is I want the team to win," Foster told a reporter after the game. "Just have to go out there, take care of my job, and give my team a chance to win."
