In the bottom of the fourth, Kansas City right fielder Enrique Hernandez had a productive at-bat. With runners on 1st and 2nd and one out, Hernandez stroked a run-scoring single to center. It made the score 1-0, Kansas City. For the game, he went 2 for 3 with 2 singles.

"We didn't score," said losing manager Steven Luker. "That was the problem."
