Athletics Tack 5-2 Loss on Royals
Las Vegas Athletics starter Steve Swift pitched well against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium, leading his team to a win, 5-2. Jamel Smith earned the save, his 14th in 15 tries. The Athletics now have a record of 51-45 with the win over Kansas City.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Mike McDevitt? The Las Vegas left fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Athletics on top, 3-1. For the game, McDevitt had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"The only difference is executing pitches and not executing pitches," said Swift. "When you don't execute, you get beat. When you execute, you usually give your team a chance to win."
