The win streak is over.
Chris Young continued a trend of ineffectiveness as the Royals fell to the Athletics 5-3 Saturday afternoon.
A first inning single by Billy Burns and a walk to Marcus Semien was followed by a Josh Reddick home run, giving Oakland the early 3-1 advantage that they would not relinquish. Semien added a sacrifice fly to push the lead to 4-1 as Young continued to labor with his control.
Kansas City cut the lead to 4-2 on a Rey Fuentes single in the fourth, scoring Omar Infante.
