Royals Stumble, Lose to Athletics
The exploits of left fielder Rhys Hoskins, who is tied for 9th in the AL in home runs with 15, helped the Oakland Athletics defeat the Kansas City Royals, 8-2. Hoskins went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Gio Gonzalez picked up the win, improving his season record to 5-3. He struck out 5 in 8.2 innings. Oakland is 4th in the American League West Division with a record of 27-38.

The Athletics got a big at-bat from shortstop Didi Gregorius. For the game, Gregorius was 2 for 4 with 2 doubles. In the bottom of the fourth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 15th double of the season gave Oakland a 1-0 lead.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Hoskins.
