Chargers Stadium was the site for American Conference action featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and San Diego Chargers.

The San Diego Chargers stymied the Kansas City Chiefs, 5-2, at Chargers Stadium. Victor Mora had a good day at the plate. He was 2-2 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for San Diego. The Chiefs fall to 9-13 and continue to sputter in the early going.

San Diego center fielder Nick Abernathy helped the Chargers go up, 3-2, in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the game tied, Abernathy hit a run-scoring single off Kansas City pitcher Danny Echeverria.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said San Diego manager Manny Garcia. "It's usually not just one thing."
