Kansas City Bats Go Silent in 1-0 Loss
The Oakland Athletics got a magnificent performance from pitcher Hyun-jin Ryu, who muffled the Kansas City offense en route to a tight, 1-0 Athletics win at O.co Coliseum. The winner was Ryu. He threw 7.1 innings of shutout ball. The loser was Ken Walker. Zach Davies closed the game out for Oakland, earning his 7th save.

Oakland catcher Ricardo A. Rodriguez contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the second. With two down, he hit a slider to right field for a run-scoring single. It was his 28th hit of the season and put the Athletics ahead, 1-0.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Kansas City manager Jim Tracy.

The Athletics sport a record of 50-75.
