| Suns Drop Another One, 7-3 | Los Angeles second baseman Gary Romeo had a good game, even if his team did not. The Suns dropped a 7-3 decision to Minneapolis at Wilshire Park. Romeo went 3 for 3 with 2 doubles and a walk. Bill Smith, who finished 3rd in the FA in strikeouts with 157 last year, was the winning pitcher. Over 7 innings, he allowed 2 runs on 9 hits, with 4 walks and 3 strikeouts. The Suns have now dropped 5 straight.
Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Frank Bradshaw? The Minneapolis center fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Millers on top, 1-0. For the game, Bradshaw had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.
"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Minneapolis manager Frank Vance.
