The Kansas City Royals defeated the Oakland Athletics, 10-0, in American League action at Kauffman Stadium. Mike Meyerhoff pulled his weight. The 9-year veteran was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Elijah Lewis, the winner, improved to 7-4. He held the Athletics to no runs on 2 hits over 6.2 innings, while striking out 5 and walking 3. The loss makes Oakland 41-37.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Mike Miller said.
