Athletics Get Dramatic 5-3 Win
The Oakland Athletics besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Kansas City third baseman George Brett by beating the Royals, 5-3, at Kauffman Stadium. Brett went 3 for 4 with 2 doubles and a walk. He scored 2 runs. Oakland, now 67-52, holds down second place in the American League Western Division.

Jose Canseco came through with a big-time hit for Oakland. The designated hitter smacked a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 4-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Canseco.
