Oakland Drops Another One, 7-4
Nick Loftin was instrumental in his team's 7-4 triumph over the Oakland Athletics. The second baseman went 2 for 4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Kansas City Royals. Nick Burdi picked up the save, his 13th. The slumping Athletics have dropped 6 in a row.

Kansas City relied on the hitting of Vinnie Pasquantino to pick up the win. The designated hitter clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Royals on top, 4-3. For the game, Pasquantino had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Pasquantino told the Kansas City Times.
