In a close game it was the Durham Bulls 4, the Kansas City A's 2 at Anaheim Stadium.
Durham scored 3 runs in the top of the 6th inning with the help of 3 hits. The highlight belonged to Graig Nettles who deflated the mood of the partisan fans when he cracked a two-run shot (his 2nd of the season). Durham had a total of 10 hits for the game.
Jim Slaton(1-1) got the win allowing 2 runs in 7 and 2/3 innings. Rollie Fingers earned his 1st save. Jim Hunter(0-1) was hit with the loss. He surrendered 4 runs and 10 hits in 9 innings.
