Bill Butler and Dave Morehead combined to pitch the Royals to a 3-1 victory over the Athletics. Butler gave up three hits before a blister on the index finger of his pitching hand forced him to yield the mound to Morehead with a man on base and none out in the seventh inning. Morehead gave up two hits the rest of the way.
