Royals 4, Athletics 3
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mike Aviles' sacrifice fly scored Jarrod Dyson to lift the Royals to their sixth walkoff win of the season. Billy Butler singled leading off the ninth against Brandon McCarthy, who took his second complete-game loss of the season. Dyson, a pinch-runner, went to third when Jeff Francoeur singled. Rookie Eric Hosmer, who earlier singled for his first major-league hit, was walked intentionally, and Aviles hit a fly to left that easily scored Dyson.
