Spiders Prove Rude Guests, Win 3-1 at Kansas City
Cleveland rode a fine outing from starter John Thomson to victory over the Kansas City Royals at Royals Stadium. The final score was 3-1. Cleveland, at 39-60, occupies 5th place in the Federal League East Division.

Cleveland used the timely hitting of Raul Ibanez to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put the Spiders on top, 2-0. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Thomson attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
