Royals Rally, A's Collapse Again | Oakland Athletics News

Seth Lugo’s shaky start sets the tone, but Sacramento briefly takes control—only for Salvador Perez to notch his historic RBI milestone and ignite a Royals rally that turns the tide. A bases-clearing double and two-run homer erase the deficit, then a late ninth home run adds drama—but Kansas City holds on for the win, inching closer to a sweep while the A’s continue their troubling trend of blowing leads when it matters most.
