Royals Turn Back Oakland, 5-4
No one was more impactful than Joe Washington in the 5-4 Kansas City win over Oakland. Washington, who led the AL in extra base hits with 66 in 2023, was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Shigochiyo Ohayashi closed it out for Kansas City, earning his 5th save. The last-place Royals bumped their record to 53-70.

The Royals got a big at-bat from shortstop Ismaldo Rodriguez. For the game, Rodriguez went 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the top of the third, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 3rd home run of the season gave Kansas City a 2-0 lead.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Oakland manager Bob Melvin. "But we decided not to take it."
