Matt Olson hit a tying homer leading off the seventh, Seth Brown hit a go-ahead double two batters later, and the Oakland Athletics beat the Kansas City Royals 2-1 to keep control of the AL’s top wild card.

Olson’s drive to deep center reached the Coliseum’s elevated bleachers in the level above the luxury suites.

Royals starter Jorge Lopez (4-8) then hit Mark Canha with a pitch before Brown doubled.
