The Kansas City Monarchs did just enough to sneak past the Philadelphia Stars, 3-2, at Shibe Park AL. Kansas City pitcher José Rijo, in particular, had a standout performance. Jeff Pfeffer finished the game for Kansas City and earned his 12th save. With the victory, the Monarchs upped their record to 31-23.

The Monarchs got a big at-bat from right fielder Dale Murphy. For the game, Murphy went 1-3 with a home run. In the top of the fifth, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 12th home run of the season gave Kansas City a 2-1 lead.

"It's nice to get the results when you're feeling good and throwing the ball well," said Rijo after the game.
