Brown Steers Kansas City Past Yankees, 3-2
Kansas City beat New York at Royals Stadium, eking out a 3-2 win. The win was due in large part to pitcher Kevin Brown, who earned player of the game honors. John Habyan was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 22 of 25 save opportunities. Kansas City is now 66-34, 7½ games up in the Federal League Central Division.

Brown was effective for Kansas City, seldom allowing the Yankees to square up a pitch. The right-hander tossed 102 pitches over 8 innings. He limited New York to just 1 run on 4 hits.

"I found a nice groove out there," said Brown.
