Fans seated in the bleacher section at Kauffman Field were taking cover all day long as Carlos Delgado took aim, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power.

For the game he collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats, batted in 6 and scored 3 runs.
C. Delgado hit a three-run home run off N. Minchey in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off N. Minchey in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off B. Manuel in the 7th.
