Barry Larkin, who finished 2nd in the FL in triples with 11 in 1989, chipped in for Kansas City with a 3-run home run in the bottom of the first. For the game, the shortstop had 3 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 2 singles, 2 runs scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Kansas City manager Daniel Drucker.
