Let's shine some light on the teams who are out of the chase, but are still fighting hard. The Kansas City Royals and starter Zack Grienke defeated the Oakland A's and left-hander Gio Gonzalez 5-2. Greinke pitched a strong 7 innings, only allowing 2 runs. Kansas City's DH Billy Butler went 3-4 with his 10th HR and Royals' closer Joakim Soria continued his success by collecting save number 34.
The A's saw a strong game from first-baseman Daric Barton, who went 3-3 with his 8th HR on the year. Gio Gonzalez failed to impress in his 4th career start, going 4 innings and giving up 3 earned-runs.
