It was another disappointing Sunday for the Royals, who have now not won on a Sunday in six weeks. A three-run sixth inning to briefly take the lead was not enough, as the A’s came back on Brady Singer and beat the Royals, 5-3.
Singer overall pitched pretty well. He gave up five runs in a career-high 8.1 innings, striking out five and walking just one, but his offense handed him a 3-2 lead after six innings and he gave it up in less than five minutes. The last of his runs was allowed by Scott Barlow in the ninth after he put someone on base earlier in the inning.
