Jared Koenig shines and Seth Brown and Sean Murphy both homer to lead the Oakland A’s past the Kansas City Royals.
OAKLAND – A’s left-hander Jared Koenig got the kind of run support Sunday that some of his fellow starting pitchers have only sparingly enjoyed.
Brown hit a solo home run in the first inning and Murphy added a three-run homer in the sixth, as the A’s salvaged the last game of the three-game set before a crowd of 14,341 and improved to 8-25 at home this season.That was enough offense for Koenig, a San Jose native and Aptos High School alum, who picked up his Major League win in his third big league start.
The A’s also received solid starting pitching in their first two games in the series, as Frankie Montas and Cole Irvin combined to allow just four earned runs over 11⅓ innings. Brown’s homer to left field was his ninth of the season, but the A’s failed on a couple of chances to add to their lead.
