Fans watched the Oakland Athletics and the Kansas City Royals fight to the finish.

The Kansas City Royals got a sterling performance from pitcher Drew Hutchison, but the Oakland Athletics still prevailed, 5-4. Hutchison threw 6.2 innings allowing 4 runs. Garrett Nuss picked up the win with 6 innings of work. He allowed 4 runs on 9 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 2. On the season, he is now 6-3.

Oakland relied on the bat of Jonathan Roberts to get the win. The left fielder ripped a run-scoring triple in the top of the seventh inning to put the Athletics ahead, 5-4. For the game, Roberts had 1 double and 1 triple in 3 at-bats.

"I was a little disappointed," said Kansas City manager Matt Erickson. "We could've and should've scored more runs."

Oakland currently is in 4th place in the American League West Division at 42-44.
