Morales Goes Wild, But Athletics Win
Detroit got a terrific performance from first baseman Kendrys Morales, but it wasn't enough to beat the Oakland Athletics. Oakland won the Comerica Park contest, 17-7. Morales was the player of the game despite being on the losing side. He slugged 3 home runs. He scored 4 runs and drove in 5. The third-place Athletics now have a win-loss record of 23-23.

Oakland used the timely hitting of Shin-Soo Choo to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Athletics on top, 8-6. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Choo told a Oakland Daily News reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
