Royals Lose to Athletics, 4-1
The Oakland Athletics knocked off the Kansas City Royals, 4-1, at Oakland Coliseum. Paul Goldschmidt, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason Oakland won. The first baseman was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Matt Barnes, credited with the save, is now 1 for 3 in save opportunities. With the win over Kansas City, the Athletics improved to 28-38.

Goldschmidt had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the sixth. On a 0-2 fastball from Chris Sale, he banged a 2-run home run to left, giving the Athletics a 3-1 lead. It was the 15th home run of the year for Goldschmidt.

"I just try to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Goldschmidt.
