Royals Earn 8-5 Win Versus Oakland
|
Led by MJ Melendez, the Kansas City Royals defeated the Oakland Athletics, 8-5. Melendez was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Royals. Edgar Medel, the winner, goes to 6-5. He allowed 1 run on 4 hits, with 1 walk and 4 strikeouts over 5 innings. The Royals saw their win-loss record go to 40-42. At the same time, the Athletics fell to 47-35.
Xavier Esquer went 1-4 for Kansas City. The 27-year old shortstop had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With no one out and runners on 1st and 2nd, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring single off Dennis Colleran. It was his 11th hit of the season.
"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Melendez told the Kansas City News.
