Athletics Get Clutch Win Versus Kansas City
The Oakland Athletics did just enough to secure a victory over the Kansas City Royals, 4-3, in 10 innings at Oakland Coliseum. Nobody did more than pitcher Dean Kremer. Sean Guenther picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 5-2. Adrian Houser suffered the loss. The 4th-place Athletics hiked their record to 32-43.

The Athletics got a clutch hit from pinch hitter Francisco Mejía. In the bottom of the tenth, he hit a run-scoring single to left-center, to win the game for the Athletics.

In postgame remarks, Mejía simply said: "Here's to a great win!"
