Phil Vinal, who is tied for 7th in the ABC in bases on balls with 24, took Cincinnati hurler Chih-hsiung Zhang deep in the bottom of the first. His 2-run home run put the Chiefs on top, 2-0. In all, Vinal had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

"Being able to contribute to a win is always a great feeling," Vinal told the Kansas City Daily.
