Wrights wrong move sinks Royals in 25-3 rout by Oakland
Royals manager Bob Lemon pulled starter Ken Wright after a 3-0 lead in the ninth as Oakland surged for five runs. Wright, fatigued after a 135-pitch outing, left with the bases loaded and no relief could stem the tide. Oakland chased Vida Blue to a 81 record, while Washington beat Detroit 3-2 and Boston edged Baltimore 2-0 in the AL games.
