BARRETO'S FOURTH OF JULY EXPLOSION

The Royals didn't have an answer for Franklin Barreto, who hit a pair of three-run homeruns in the Royals' 10-5 defeat to Oakland to kick off a key four-game series between the two wildcard contenders on Independence Day. Drew Smith slogged through his first poor start since being re-called from Omaha, allowing six runs in four innings, including a trio of homeruns to fall to 1-2 on the year. Oakland jumped out to a 4-0 lead early in the first, and kept adding to that lead before the Royals finally broke through in the fifth with a run, but not before Oakland's lead ballooned to 9-0. The Royals added one in the fifth, two in the sixth, and two in the eighth. Yusmeiro Petit got the start for Oakland, his first start of the season in an emergency role, but left after four and two-third innings with an arm injury.

WALK-OFF WALK WINS IT

Kansas City held a 4-3 lead going into the ninth, but Blake Treinen allowed a run to tie the game before sending into extra innings, where the Royals won it by a 5-4 count with a bases loaded walk from Ryan O'Hearn. Josh Fields picked up his fifth victory of the season out of the bullpen, pitching a perfect tenth with one strikeout. Aside from a three-run homerun from Matt Olson in the first, Danny Duffy pitched extremely well in allowing just three runs in six innings, fanning four and scattering three hits with just one walk. Peter Alonso was the offensive stalwart, hitting the go-ahead homerun in the fifth inning, a three-run blast off starter Chris Bassitt. He also added a single in the seventh and a pair of walks. Brett Phillips and Adalberto Mondesi also had two hits apiece; and even though he doubled in the sixth as part of a 1-for-5 day, Cheslor Cuthbert's streak of multi-hit games was snapped at six.

GORDON, PHILLIPS POWER ROYALS VICTORY

Both Jake Junis and Adalberto Mondesi had to leave the game early with injuries, but the Royals received plenty of help elsewhere as they shellacked Oakland 9-1 to secure a split of the four-game home set. Alex Gordon and Brett Phillips each hit two-run homeruns, and Cheslor Cuthbert was 2-for-3 with a double and a pair of RBI. Junis picked up the victory, his 25th career win, by going five innings. He fanned four and scattered three hits before leaving with shoulder tightness.

OLSON OVERPOWERS ROYALS IN SHUTOUT LOSS

Matt Olson was 3-for-5 with a pair of homeruns, including a three-run bomb in the ninth for an exclamation point, as the A's knocked off the Royals 9-0 to salvage the series split. Brad Keller made his first start since being re-called for Trevor Oaks, and didn't fare well in allowing six runs over five innings, including giving up a trio of homeruns. The Royals collected just seven hits, with Ryan O'Hearn singling twice in four at-bats. Nicky Lopez went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base as the Royals suffered their 50th defeat of 2019.
