Athletics

Yoenis Cespedes' solo home run in the 8th inning broke a 3-3 tie and lifted the A's to a series sweep over the visiting Royals 4-3.
Bob Melvin is going with a very similar lineup Sunday to the one he penciled in on Saturday. The only difference is the sixth spot.
An RBI triple by Brandon Moss in the sixth was the difference as the A's defeated the Royals 2-1.
