Nick Kurtz hit a solo ninth-inning homer to rally the Athletics to a 3-2 win and three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals.

The Athletics have a formidable offense to their credit, although they still lose a lot because of their dreadful pitching, but that hasn’t been the case this weekend so far. For a team that at one point had lost 19 of 20 and had only 6 wins since May 10th before this series,

Austin Wynns and Luis Urías hit home runs, Luis Severino pitched 7 2/3 strong innings, and the Athletics beat Kansas City 6-4 to end a 14-game road losing streak and hand the Royals their fourth straight loss.
