The Athletics got a big at-bat from right fielder Mark Canha. For the game, Canha was 3 for 4 with 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs. In the bottom of the fourth, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, he stroked a run-scoring single. His 121st hit of the season gave Oakland a 1-0 lead.

"We made a couple of mistakes," said Kansas City skipper Bryce Shuck, "and it cost us."
