KC starter Chris Young surrenders four runs in four innings
Royals’ four-game winning streak ends, as does Oakland’s four-game losing streak
Three-game series is tied at a win apiece heading into Sunday’s finale
OAKLAND, Calif.
Chris Young’s third loss fell statistically somewhere between his first two. But his frustration level probably peaked after Saturday’s 5-3 loss to the A’s.
Young surrendered a three-run homer to Oakland’s third hitter, Josh Reddick, but limited the damage after that. Young departed having surrendered four runs in four innings with the finish much more effective than the beginning.
