Royals, Singer Deal Athletics 2-1 Setback
The Kansas City Royals did just enough to secure a victory over the Oakland Athletics, 2-1, at Kauffman Stadium. Nobody did more than pitcher Brady Singer. Nick Burdi closed it out for his 7th save. At 23-24, the Royals are currently second in the American League Central Division.

Singer threw well for Kansas City, thwarting the Oakland offense. The right-hander tossed 69 pitches over 8 innings. He allowed just 1 run on 2 hits.

"We didn't string enough hits together to win the game," said tight-lipped Oakland manager Judd Lasher. "Obviously."
