The Oakland Athletics and Kansas City Royals played an exciting game.

Starting pitcher Carlos Vargas was a major factor in the 3-2 Oakland Athletics triumph over the Kansas City Royals. The win belongs to Jared Shoultz in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Jon Cohen took the loss for Kansas City. Asa Lacy was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 1 of 1 save opportunities.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Kyle Lewis came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Kansas City pitcher Derek Tilley, he hit a 1-2 curveball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Oakland on top, 3-1.

In postgame comments, Vargas said, "I think we gave the fans their money's worth."

The American League West Division-leading Athletics have a record of 36-24.
