Extra-Inning Win by Athletics Over Royals
The Oakland Athletics weathered an outstanding game by Kansas City first baseman Ryan O'Hearn to topple the Royals, 12-7. O'Hearn went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs and 3 walks. Reliever Mike Fiers picked up the win. His record improves to 9-6. Richard Lovelady took the loss. The Athletics, at 90-55, lead by one game in their division.

Francisco Cervelli came through for Oakland when he hit a grand slam in the top of the 15th. With the bases loaded, he hit a 2-2 fastball to left field, staking his team to a 9-5 lead.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Cervelli told the Oakland Citizen.
