Randy Shrewsbury impressed in the 7-5 Oakland win over Kansas City. Shrewsbury, who finished 5th in the AL in OPS with 1.036 in 2043, was 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 singles, and 2 walks. Corbin Schenn got the win, improving to 15-3. He worked 6.2 innings, giving up 3 runs on 9 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 0. Oakland, now 60-54, holds down third place in the American League West Division.

Muneo Kawachi dealt the Royals a blow in the bottom of the fourth. Batting with the bases empty and Oakland leading 3-2, Kawachi, who is on pace for 104 RBI this season, hit a 1-1 fastball for a solo home run.

In postgame comments to the Oakland Daily, Kawachi said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
