TOP 7 .. Suarez singled. Monday homered scoring two runs. KCA 3 CAL 1

NOTES: Krausse won for only the second time this year, the other back in May. Rick Monday had snapped out of his prolonged slump showing his power potential. Jack Sanford has looked very good in a relief role since being acquired at the deadline, inducing a rally killing double play from Rick Reichardt in the 8tj.

STAR OF THE GAME: 3-5 Double HR 2RBI
