Vida Blue posted the 100th victory of his major league career in pitching the Athletics to a 2-0 shutout of the Royals. Blue struck out 13, his season's high, and scattered six singles. The A's counted both their runs in the seventh inning on a triple by Claudell Washington, single by Billy Williams, sacrifice by Phil Garner and single by Bill North that drove in pinch-runner Larry Lintz.
