  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Oakland Athletics (50-72) 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 2 4 0
Kansas City Royals (72-52) 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 X 3 7 1
6 Straight Wins for Royals
In a low-scoring game between the Kansas City Royals and the Oakland Athletics, pitcher Ty Hartshorn was the difference-maker. The Kansas City right-hander was tough as nails in the 3-2 Royals win. Kansas City reliever Jonny Venters picked up the win, upping his record to 3-0. Jose Castillo was saddled with the loss. The first-place Royals go to 72-52.

Kansas City went up, 3-2, on Daric Barton's 4th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Barton hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Oakland pitcher Jose Castillo feeling deflated.

"We did the things it takes to win a ballgame," said Kansas City manager Kevin S.
