Athletics Lose to Royals, 6-2
Fans brought energy and enthusiasm to the Oakland Athletics home opener. Rafe Schlesinger started for the home team against Carlos Mateo for the Kansas City Royals. The Athletics were unable to reward the home crowd with a win. The final score was 6-2, Kansas City. Carlos Mateo, though, was impressive.

Kansas City used the bat of Ty Southisene to get the win. The second baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Royals ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Kansas City manager Fraser Stewart.
