The Oakland A’s finally did it. They won their second straight game today, defeating the Kansas City Royals in a close 5-4 ballgame at Kauffman Stadium.
The game got off to a solid enough start. Starting pitcher Ken Waldichuk struck out the very first two batters he faced tonight before back-to-back walks and an RBI double put the Royals on the board first.
The A’s struck right back in the top of the second. A leadoff double from JJ Bleday and two walks loaded the bases for Esteury Ruiz, and he made sure the team cashed in on the early scoring opportunity:
Ruiz is 2 cool pic.
