The Oakland Athletics got a superb performance from pitcher Zak Kent, but the Kansas City Royals still won the game, 4-3. Kent threw 5.1 innings allowing 2 runs. Andrew Kittredge, credited with the save, is now 11 for 17 in save opportunities. With the win, Kansas City raised its record to 39-38.

Kansas City used a timely hit from Oliver Dunn to get the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the tenth inning to put the Royals ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

Kansas City manager Jimmy Hoffman praised his team's "businesslike approach."
