Jefferies went 5 innings and allowed 1 run, striking out 4. Kansas City is now 22-24, while Oakland is 26-21.

Jeison Guzman was the walk-off hero for Kansas City. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Royals shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Exhilarating win," said Guzman.
