Giants Win, 5-3, Versus Kansas City
Kansas City got a terrific performance from pitcher Mike Hampton, but it wasn't enough to beat the San Francisco Giants. San Francisco won the Kauffman Stadium contest, 5-3. Hampton threw 7.1 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. Earning his 17th save for San Francisco was Bob Howry. With the win, the Giants hiked their record to 50-46.

San Francisco needed the clutch hitting of Shin-Soo Choo to seal the deal. The right fielder swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Giants on top, 4-2. For the game, Choo had 1 home run and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We had situations where we should have got some runs in, but we didn't get the runs in," said losing manager Aaron Briskman.
