Kansas City Tacks 5-1 Loss on Oakland
The Kansas City Royals beat the Oakland Athletics, 5-1, at O.co Coliseum. Starting pitcher Colin Rodgers was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. The win gives Kansas City a season record of 84-77.

The Royals got a big at-bat from first baseman Joe Washington. For the game, Washington went 1-4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. In the top of the first, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 17th home run of the season gave Kansas City a 3-0 lead.

"Colin's not intimidated by who's stepping into the batter's box," said Kansas City manager Jim Tracy.
