<p>Oakland Athletics shortstop Cliff Pennington (2) forces Kansas City Royals&#8217; Jeff Francoeur (21) out at second and completes the double play on Eric Hosmer to end the 8th inning during Sunday&#8217;s baseball game at Kauffman Stadium on May 8, 2011 in Kansas City, MO.

</div>
<p>Well, the RoyalsÂ’ good fortune at home had to end at some point. So it might as well happen because the opposing pitcher is dealing, the opposing team is hitting and the Royals made some uncharacteristic mistakes.</p>
<p>That was absolutely the formula the Oakland Athletics used to hand the Royals a 5-2 loss on Sunday, one that marked the first time in seven tries a road team has been able to come into Kauffman Stadium and take a series this season. </p>
<p>And for all of the RoyalsÂ’ recent spunk, particularly at home Â— where they still own the most victories in the majors Â— this was a day in which the AÂ’s won the three-game series in front of an announced crowd of 22,435 by outclassing the Royals in every phase of the game. </p>
<p>For instance, Royals starter Jeff Francis was good, but Oakland starter Tyson Ross was better. The RoyalsÂ’ offense hit a few balls hard, but Oakland produced a 12-hit attack. The AÂ’s were better defensively, committing only one error to the RoyalsÂ’ two.</p>
<p>The victory was convincing enough that by the time it was over, the Royals had already turned the page, preferring instead to focus on the 6-3 homestand that outfielder Jeff Francoeur correctly predicted would happen a little more than a week ago.</p>
<p>Â“Seven and two would have been nice,Â” Francoeur said, Â“but Oakland has got a heck of a pitching staff. They always say good pitching beats good hitting.Â”</p>
<p>And that was never more evident than it was Sunday, when Ross, 2-2, used a mid-90s fastball and a sharp slider to limit the Royals to two runs and six hits over six innings. He outdueled Francis Â— who dropped to 0-4 and allowed two earned runs and eight hits in 6 1/3  innings Â— and even provided the play of the day in the second inning.</p>
<p>ThatÂ’s when the Royals, who trailed 2-0 thanks to RBI singles from Conor Jackson and Josh Willingham in the first inning, appeared to be on the verge of mounting a rally.</p>
<p>Francoeur led off with a single, and tried to advance to third after second baseman Mark Ellis made an off-target throw to second that got past shortstop Cliff Pennington. Seeing that third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff was going after the ball, Ross made a mad dash to third, received KouzmanoffÂ’s throw and dived to the base just in time to tag Francoeur out.</p>
<p>Â“Tyson just blazed out of nowhere,Â” Oakland manager Bob Geren said. Â“You should have seen it from my angle. He closed like a horse in a horse race. Â… It might have been the difference in the game, you never know.Â” </p>
<p>It certainly looked as if it might be in the sixth inning. After Kouzmanoff gave Oakland a three-run lead with a solo shot off Francis, the Royals cut the deficit to 3-2 with an RBI double by Eric Hosmer Â— the first RBI of his big-league career Â— and an RBI single by Mitch Maier. </p>
<p>But any chance the Royals had of tying the game in the inning came to a halt when Betemit, who made a big turn at second on MaierÂ’s single, was thrown out by former Royals outfielder David DeJesus while retreating to the bag.</p>
<p>The game was still within reach, but after the Royals blew a chance to tie the game in the seventh Â— Oakland reliever Michael Wuertz struck out Melky Cabrera with two outs and a runner on third Â— the AÂ’s tacked on a run in the eighth off reliever Tim Collins (the run was credited to Blake Wood) and another in the ninth off reliever Louis Coleman. </p>
<p>Oakland closer Brian Fuentes took care of the rest, as he pitched a scoreless ninth and picked up his ninth save of the season for the AÂ’s, who improved to 18-17 entering a three-game road series against Texas.</p>
<p>The Royals, 18-16, have an off-day today before they begin a three-game road series against the New York Yankees.</p>
<p> Afterward, Royals manager Ned Yost lamented the two errors his team committed Â— including one by typically slick-fielding first baseman Eric Hosmer. However, he insisted heÂ’s still happy with his teamÂ’s performance in all phases of the game. </p>
<p>TheyÂ’ll definitely need to keep it up if they want to avoid what happened on their last road trip, when they went 0-6 in Cleveland and Texas in late April.</p>
<p>Â“We had a bad road trip last time,Â” Yost said. Â“But that doesnÂ’t mean weÂ’re a bad road team.Â”</p>

<h3>OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)</h3>
<p>Hideki Matsui figures if he has a good season in his first year with the Oakland Athletics it could provide some strength for his struggling countrymen back home in Japan.</p>
<p>His new club wants to do its part, too.</p>
<p>Matsui and the A&#8217;s announced Tuesday they have already raised more than $50,000 to help with relief efforts in Japan after the 9.0 earthquake and ensuing tsunami devastated his homeland March 11 and killed thousands. Matsui separately donated $620,000 himself.</p>
<p>&#8221;It&#8217;s been a sad story,&#8221; Matsui said before Oakland hosted the San Francisco Giants in an exhibition game. &#8221;Hopefully I can play well and this could provide some good news for the people in Japan. I have nothing but appreciation for the efforts the A&#8217;s have gone through for this. It happened in such a faraway place.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hiroshi Inomata, Japan&#8217;s consul general in San Francisco, expressed his gratitude to Matsui and the A&#8217;s for quickly going to work to aid those in need. Oakland will donate $1 for every ticket sold to this Sunday&#8217;s game &#8211; Japanese Heritage Day &#8211; against Seattle to the Red Cross for relief efforts in Japan.</p>
<p>The uniforms worn by Matsui and fellow Japanese star Ichiro Suzuki of the Mariners from the their opener Friday night in Oakland will be framed and auctioned off Sunday to help the cause.</p>
<p>&#8221;The message I hope I can convey to the people is, &#8216;Hang in there and give it your best,&#8221;&#8217; Matsui said.</p>

<p>What do you guys think about this. </p>
