Athletics Paste 7-3 Loss on Royals
The Oakland Athletics beat the Kansas City Royals, 7-3, at Kauffman Stadium. The win was due in part to catcher Jorge Alfaro, who went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Taijuan Walker earned the win for Oakland. He lasted 6.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 2. With the win, he raised his record to 4-2. The Athletics have now won 4 straight.

Oakland used the hitting of Eloy Jimenez to pick up the win. The designated hitter clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Athletics on top, 7-3. For the game, Jimenez had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We're in a little bit of a dry spell," said Kansas City manager Nathan Feuerer.
