Athletics Sunk by Royals
|
The Kansas City Royals defeated the Oakland Athletics, 5-3, in part because of center fielder Jackson Merrill. Merrill was 3-4 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Royals. Jonathan Cannon went 7.2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits. The right-hander struck out 4 and walked 0. With the win, he's now 5-16 this season. Scott Barlow earned his 7th save in 12 chances.
Kansas City grabbed the momentum in the top of the fifth, when Merrill hit a 2-run triple off Jordan Montgomery. His 4th triple of the season put the Royals out in front, 3-1.
"What's not to like about a win?" said Merrill.
Kansas City is now 72-87, Oakland 85-74.
