Reviving their chances in the West Division race, the Athletics overpowered the Royals, 11-1, to pull within six games of the front-runners with 10 games left to play. Vida Blue gave up the Royals' run in the first inning on a single by George Brett and double by Hal McRae but then allowed only four more hits the rest of the way.
