Nick Kurtz continued his impressive form, hitting a two-run home run to help the Athletics secure a 5-1 victory over the Cleveland Guardians. With this performance, Kurtz has now homered in five of the last six games, showcasing his power at the plate. Jeffrey Springs contributed with 7⅓ solid innings on the mound, allowing just three hits.

The Athletics achieved their sixth win in eight games, with Lawrence Butler also shining with three hits and an RBI. The Guardians, on the other hand, faced their 10th loss in 14 games, struggling offensively as they managed only 14 runs during a nine-game road trip.

Angel Martinez did hit a solo homer for Cleveland, but the team's offensive inefficiencies were highlighted, especially as Tanner Bibee gave up five runs in his complete game, despite striking out a season-high 10 batters. The Athletics capitalized on Cleveland's mistakes, particularly in the second inning, where errors contributed to their scoring opportunities.
