Athletics Sneak Past Royals, 6-5
The Oakland Athletics outlasted the Kansas City Royals in an extra-inning thriller.

The Oakland Athletics knocked off the Kansas City Royals, 6-5, at Royals Stadium 1973. Mark McGwire was a big reason Oakland won. The first baseman hit 3 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring three times. Oakland reliever Cesar Maldonado picked up the win to move to 1-0. Ken Ryan suffered the loss.

McGwire had a game-changing home run in the top of the tenth. On a 1-0 fastball from Ken Ryan, he banged a solo home run to left, giving the Athletics a 6-5 lead. It was the 6th home run of the year for McGwire.

"This is a resilient bunch," said Oakland manager Matthew Edwards.

Kansas City drops to 7-10.
