Extending their winning streak to six games, the Royals came from behind to down the A's, 7-6. The Royals trailed, 6-5, going into the bottom of the ninth, when Jamie Quirk began the winning rally with a single and was replaced by pinch-runner U.L. Washington. A sacrifice moved Washington to second and after George Brett was walked intentionally, Amos Otis tied the game with a single to center.
