Winning for only the second time this season, Matt Keough, who has lost 16 games, pitched the A's to a 2-0 victory over the Royals. Dennis Leonard on the mound for the Royals allowed only three hits until the eighth inning when the A's scored their runs on a single by Jim Essian, safe bunt by Mike Edwards, a wild pitch, a sacrifice fly by Mike Heath and single by Rickey Henderson.
