Athletics Sneak Past Royals, 8-7
The Kansas City Royals got a superb performance from catcher Sam Britt. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Oakland. The Athletics won the game, 8-7. Britt went 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. George Rubio snagged the win in relief. In 1.1 innings, the right-hander allowed no runs on no hits. He's now 2-2 on the season. At 61-54, Oakland is in second place in the American League West Division.

In the bottom of the ninth, Jason May had a chance to deal the knockout blow. And he did, punching a 2-run single to left off Kansas City pitcher Mike Jones.

"It wasn't our best performance," said May, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
