Athletics Win 3-2 Nail-Biter Versus Royals
The Oakland Athletics defeated the Kansas City Royals, 3-2, in 12 innings. Kyle Tucker, who is tied for 9th in the AL in extra base hits with 69, played a big role. Tucker slugged 2 home runs for the Athletics in the win. After today's action, Oakland sits at 85-72; Kansas City slips to 70-87.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 12th. With no one out, Tucker hit a fastball from Austin Adams for a solo home run. The Athletics, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

Tucker described the clubhouse as "kind of rowdy" after the game.
