Gwynn Leads Colt 45s to Win
In the 10-7 Houston win over Kansas City, the impact of Tony Gwynn was substantial. Gwynn, who is tied for 2nd in the NL with a .390 batting average, went 3 for 4 with 2 doubles and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. The win was credited to 26-year old right-handed pitcher Dock Ellis in relief. His record improves to 3-1. Craig Kimbrel took the loss. The first-place Monarchs have dropped 4 straight games.

Had George Brett not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Brett hit a 2-run double. That made the score 8-7, in favor of the Colt 45s.

"I'm just looking to see the ball, hit the ball," said Brett.
