KANSAS CITY, Kan. - The Kansas City T-Bones (14-21) defeated the Winnipeg Goldeyes (20-16), 13-3, to snap a six-game losing streak and prevent a sweep on Sunday afternoon in front of 5,074 fans at CommunityAmerica Ballpark.

Kansas City added two additional runs on a home run by Rico Washington in the fifth to push the score to 6-0 and chase Walker from the game.
