The Kansas City Royals did just enough to sneak past the Baltimore Orioles, 6-5, at Royals Stadium 1973. Kansas City pitcher Hideo Nomo, in particular, had a standout performance. The victory makes Kansas City 8-2, as the team seeks a return to the playoffs in 2000.

Frank E Thomas hit a run-scoring triple off Scott Aldred in the bottom of the seventh, which put the Royals in front, 6-5. Thomas had 1 single, in addition to the triple. For the game, he went 2 for 4.

"Hideo is tough to beat when he's hitting his spots," said Kansas City manager Gamma KC.
