Patriots Sneak By Chiefs, 4-3
The New England Patriots topped the Kansas City Chiefs, 4-3, at Gillette Stadium. New England second baseman Jose Ortiz was a spark plug for the offense. He was 3 for 4 with a double and 2 singles. He scored 2 times. Today's win puts New England at 15-18, while Kansas City falls to 14-19.

The decisive blow was delivered by Dustin Baker in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run double off fireballing right-hander Alex Barriga to win the game for New England. The home crowd went nuts.

"We ground out the win," said Baker. "That's all that matters."
