Great Effort by Urshela Wasted in 5-4 Athletics Loss
Giovanny Urshela had a good game, but he could not keep the Oakland Athletics from falling, 5-4, to the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The Oakland third baseman hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice in the loss. Aaron Nola, the winner, improved to 3-2. He held Oakland to no runs on 6 hits over 6 innings, while racking up 9 strikeouts. The third-place Royals improved to 22-24.

J.T. Realmuto had a big 2-run home run for the Royals in the bottom of the third inning. With Kansas City leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a curveball from Jordan Montgomery, who is tied for 6th in the AL with a 1.09 WHIP, and swatted a home run to center. It was his 5th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Royals ahead, 3-0.

Realmuto told a Kansas City Today reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
