KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Cole Ragans allowed two hits in seven scoreless innings, Michael Massey and Maikel Garcia homered and the Kansas City Royals beat Oakland 6-2 on Friday night to extend the Athletics losing streak to a season-high six. Ragans (3-3) walked two and struck out seven, rebounding from a 9-3 loss at the Los Angeles Angels when he allowed seven runs and eight hits. He has three scoreless starts of at least six innings this season. Chris Stratton and Matt Sauers finished the four-hitter, the ninth time Oakland has been held to four hits or fewer. Oakland has been outscored 36-6 during its losing streak, which dropped the A’s to 19-28. “We just need to continue to grind at-bats out and find some offense,” Oakland manager Mark Kotsay said. Kansas City went ahead in the first when Salvador Perez hit a two-out, run-scoring infield single. Perez was called out by first base umpire Ryan Additon, but a video review ruled Perez beat the throw from third baseman Brett Harris. |
