MLB: Oakland Athletics top Kansas City Royals, win back-to-back games for first time this season
Oakland Athletics’ JJ Bleday congratulates Ryan Noda for scoring off a Brent Rooker double during the fourth inning of a baseball game against the Kansas City Royals in Kansas City, Mo., Saturday, May 6, 2023. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Oakland Athletics won consecutive games for the first time this season as Ryan Noda had a triple and double, reaching base four times in a 5-4 win over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night.
“He’s swinging the bat,” Oakland manager Mark Kotsay said. “He’s learned early in the season that when you’re as patient as he’s been coming through the minor leagues, these big-league guys will attack you. He’s been a little more aggressive in the zone and that’s created some results.”“My job is to get on base any way I can,” he said. “The last two days I’ve been doing a pretty good job of it. I’m just sticking to my approach and grinding it out.
