Kansas City Gets 6-2 Road Win
1982 is shaping up to be a forgettable year for the Oakland Athletics.

Kansas City Royals starter Britt Burns was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Oakland Athletics, 6-2. Orel Hershiser got the save, his 13th in 22 chances.

Kansas City relied on the hitting of Jim Eisenreich to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Royals on top, 4-2. For the game, Eisenreich had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Kansas City manager Luca Mac Craken.

Kansas City occupies 5th place in the American League West Division at 70-83.
