Suns Make It 4 Straight with 1-0 Win
Los Angeles left-hander Pete Meissner helped his team edge Minneapolis by the score of 1-0. Meissner kept the opposing lineup in check. Ron Clark earned the save for Los Angeles, his 39th of the year. Minneapolis's current losing streak has reached 5 games.

Los Angeles used a well-timed hit by Tom Lally to capture the win. The shortstop socked a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Suns ahead, 1-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"Every time I step on the mound, I want to go out there and compete and bring my best game," said Meissner.
