Royals Rally Late to Top A's | Oakland Athletics News

The Royals pulled off a heart-stopping 9-7 comeback win over the Athletics, flipping the script in the eighth inning when John Rave’s crushing double cleared the bases and gave them the lead. After trailing by three through six innings thanks to strong performances from Jeff McNeil, Zack Gelof, and starter Jeffrey Springs, Kansas City’s bullpen held firm and their offense exploded late. Craig Kimbrel earned the win as Steven Cruz surrendered a solo homer in the ninth — too little, too late for the A’s, who’ve now lost 16 of their last 20 games and look to avoid getting swept today with Gage Jump on the mound.
