Kansas City Wins, Topping Ottawa, 8-5
Stan Musial was a major factor in the 8-5 Kansas City win over Ottawa. The Monarchs right fielder was 2-3 with a triple and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The winner was Smokey Joe Wood, who threw 94 pitches over 5.1 innings. The right-hander was charged with 5 runs on 6 hits. Craig Kimbrel, who is a two-time All-Star, earned the save for Kansas City.

Kansas City used a well-timed hit by Cool Papa Bell to capture the win. The center fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Monarchs ahead, 4-3. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We've got a great group of guys," Musial said, "and we're having fun right now."

The win has Kansas City at 2-0.
