Oakland Topples Kansas City, 7-2
The home crowd had a good time watching the Kansas City Royals and Oakland Athletics get after it.

Oakland parlayed a decent outing from starter Chan-ho Park into a solid win over the Kansas City Royals. The final score was 7-2. Park yielded 2 runs over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 4, and struck out 4. His record improves to 10-8.

The Athletics got a big at-bat from second baseman Erubiel Durazo. For the game, Durazo went 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the second, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 19th home run of the season gave Oakland a 3-0 lead.

Said losing manager Aaron Briskman: "We just didn't get it done tonight."

The win hiked the Oakland record to 73-57.
