Tony Armas and Wayne Gross delivered run-scoring singles in the 14th inning to lift the A's to a 4-2 victory over the Royals. The game was tied, 2-2, when Rickey Henderson drew a one-out walk and stole second.

After Dwayne Murphy received an intentional walk, Armas and Gross followed with RBI singles. The Royals had tied the contest in the bottom of the ninth on a two-run pinch-double by Dave Chalk. [The Sporting News]
