Kansas City Defeated by Cincinnati, 3-2
Arrowhead Stadium was the site of a tense game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals.

Cincinnati Bengals starter Alex Castaneda was in the groove. He led his team to a win over the Kansas City Chiefs, 3-2. In 7.1 innings, Castaneda surrendered 8 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 0. He allowed 2 runs. Rich Muldoon earned the save for Cincinnati, his 11th.

Davis Mora, who is rated as the 24th best prospect by BNN, had a direct impact on the outcome. Mora contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth inning to put Cincinnati up, 3-0.

Mora said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate."

The Bengals go to 23-25, putting them second in the American Conference North.
