Oakland took on Kansas City in front of a lively crowd.

Behind the bravura of designated hitter Matt Juhasz, the Oakland Athletics topped the Kansas City Royals by the score of 6-3. Juhasz was 2-3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Athletics. Nick Rodriquez recorded his 8th save for Oakland.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Blake Zobel? The Oakland left fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Athletics on top, 2-0. For the game, Zobel had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We're playing like we're capable of," said Oakland manager Jon Pearson.

With the win, Oakland improves its record to 15-11.
