Detroit Upended, 7-1, by Oakland
Oakland designated hitter Royce Lewis was a significant contributor in his team's 7-1 triumph over the Detroit Tigers. He was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Athletics. Oakland pitcher Bowden Francis earned the win, hiking his record to 2-0. Hunter Greene suffered the loss. By defeating Detroit, the first-place Athletics improved to 65-51.

Oakland used a clutch at-bat from Kyle Tucker to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We took home the win," said Lewis. "What's not to like?"
