Darryl Motley has been one of the worst starters in Statis Pro so far, but he was a big contributor in this game. He launched a two run homer in the first to give KC the early lead. The Royals would tack on three more runs in the seventh thanks in part to a pinch hit home run by Jorge Orta. Meanwhile, Bud Black dominated the Red Sox hitters while tossing a shutout.

This was the second game in a series between two of the worst teams in the American League so far. The Brew Crew scored first in the bottom of the third. Dion James doubled home Ted Simmons. Minnesota responded in the fourth. Tim Teufel hit his first triple of the year, and Gary Gaetti later knocked him in.
A two-out error by Don Sutton in the sixth, his second of the game, led to two more runs for the Twins. But in the bottom of the seventh, Twins starter John Butcher self-destructed. He allowed four straight singles before being lifted in favor of Len Whitehouse. Whitehouse would hit a batter and then give up a bases loaded double to Cecil Cooper to secure the victory for Milwaukee.
