Kansas City Gets 5-3 Road Win
The Kansas City Jacks picked up a win at Nicollet Park, knocking off the Minneapolis Millers, 5-3. Starting pitcher Vicente García was a big reason why. The save was credited to Dennis Armstrong, his 20th. At 76-77, the Jacks find themselves in 4th place in the Pioneer League North.

António Ruíz, the two-time All-Star , had a direct impact on the outcome. Ruíz contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put Kansas City up, 5-1.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Ruíz told the Kansas City Herald.
