Seth Brown of the Athletics is greeted by Zack Gelof in the second inning after hitting a two-run home run against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.The Athletics’ free-fall continued Saturday in a 5-3 road loss to the Kansas City Royals, with their record having dropped to 10 games under .500.
Brown’s home run was his fourth of the season, with Kyle Isbel hitting his fourth for the Royals. Kansas City improved to 28-19. Lugo came out of the game in the sixth following a two-out error by shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. with two runners aboard, with Schreiber coming in to retire Brown on a fly to left. Lugo, who came in the American League earned run average leader at 1.66, threw 96 pitches with one walk and 10 strikeouts.
At that point, it was the second A’s home run in three innings, coming off Shea Langeliers’ two-run home run Friday night. That homer snapped a streak of 158 at-bats without a home run for the A’s.
