First Inning
The game began with both teams testing each other's defenses. The Athletics managed one hit but were unable to convert it into runs. Meanwhile, the Royals took an early lead by scoring one run off two hits in their first inning at-bat.
Second Inning
In the second inning, the Athletics responded as they found their rhythm. They scored one run from two hits, leveling the playing field and setting up a competitive atmosphere for the rest of the game.
Third and Fourth Innings
Continuing their momentum into the third inning, Oakland added another run from two more hits. Their consistent batting performance was evident again in the fourth inning when they scored yet another run from two additional hits. This steady accumulation of runs put pressure on Kansas City’s defense.
Fifth Inning

Sixth Inning
The sixth inning proved pivotal for Oakland as they unleashed an offensive burst that would define their victory. Scoring three runs off four hits without committing any errors demonstrated both precision and power in execution by A's hitters.
Seventh through Ninth Innings
Despite no further scoring from either team until late in Kansas City's ninth-inning rally attempt where they scored three times off just one hit – thanks largely due to walks – it wasn't enough against solid pitching efforts by Oakland throughout these closing frames which held firm under mounting pressure ensuring triumph remained theirs alone tonight!
