Kansas City Royals starter Hector Perez pitched well against the Oakland Athletics at Kauffman Stadium, leading his team to a win, 8-3. With the win over Oakland, the Royals improved to 61-78.

Andy LaRoche had a big 2-run double for the Royals in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Kansas City leading 3-2 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a fastball from 23-year old right-handed pitcher Brad Lincoln and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 16th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Royals ahead, 5-2.

"We were able to put some runs on the board," said LaRoche after the game.
