Kansas City Loss Tarnishes Fine Game by Pujols
Kansas City left fielder Albert Pujols had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Pujols was 4-4 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2, even as Brooklyn beat the Monarchs, 9-8. With this game in the books, Brooklyn is 24-15, Kansas City 22-20.

Ron Cey was 2-4 with 2 doubles and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Brooklyn. The slick-fielding third baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 8-8 tie with a run-scoring walk off Craig Kimbrel. It was his 13th walk of the season.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Brooklyn skipper Daniel Makonnen.
