The Oakland Athletics welcomed the Kansas City Royals to an afternoon game at Oakland Coliseum.

Oakland catcher Shea Langeliers contributed significantly to his team's 9-1 win over the Kansas City Royals. Langeliers, who is tied for 2nd in the AL in home runs with 8, went 3 for 5 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Athletics. Oakland, now 13-7, has played well in the early going.

Langeliers contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Oakland in the bottom of the fourth. With his team trailing 1-0, Langeliers took a splitter from Carlos Hernandez and stroked the home run to center. His 8th home run of the season allowed the Athletics to leap in front, 2-1.

"We had a nice day," said Oakland skipper Mark Kotsay.
