Athletics Handed 4-1 Loss by Kansas City
A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Kansas City Royals and Oakland Athletics.

Kansas City turned a good performance from starting pitcher Danny Jackson into a 4-1 triumph over the Oakland Athletics at Kauffman Stadium. Jackson picked up the win for Kansas City, going 8 innings. He gave up 1 run on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 12-9. Jeff Montgomery wrapped it up, recording his 34th save.

Kansas City took a 4-1 lead on Salvador Perez's 16th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Perez hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Oakland pitcher Chief Bender shaking his head.

"I'm just trying to make sure I'm focused for each and every pitch," said Jackson.

The first-place Royals hiked their record to 62-56.
