Kansas City pitcher Bill Fike did his part in helping his team beat the Minnesota Twins, 4-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. The winning pitcher was Fike, now 6-10. He tossed 5 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 3. Kansas City now sits at 58-66, while Minnesota falls to 61-64.

Dan Boyd, who finished 3rd in the NL in batting average with .324 in 2100, had a direct impact on the outcome. Boyd contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the first inning to put Kansas City up, 3-0.

"Good team win," Boyd said. "I love it when a plan comes together."
