Oakland Hands Kansas City 3-2 Defeat
The Oakland Athletics eked out a 3-2 win versus the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Nobody did more than pitcher Lucas Giolito. He was terrific. Yennier Cano collected save number 13. Oakland leads the American League West Division by 5½ games.

Eloy Jimenez, who is tied for 3rd in the AL in hits with 56, had a direct impact on the outcome. Jimenez contributed a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put Oakland up, 3-0.

"I like what I saw today," said Oakland manager Jim Reese, "and I can't wait to get back out there and do it again."
