Athletics Lose, 6-3, at Royals Stadium 1973
Oakland got a terrific game from designated hitter Edgar Martinez. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Kansas City, 6-3. Martinez went 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs. The Royals lead the American League Central Division by 3½ games.

Kansas City took a 4-3 lead on Cliff Floyd's 9th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Floyd hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Oakland pitcher Jason Schmidt visibly frustrated.

In comments to the Kansas City Gazette, Floyd insisted that he's not as disinterested as it often appears. "Haters will hate," he added.
