Morales, Volquez lead the Royals past the Athletic (Yahoo Sports)

Edinson Volquez preferred going six innings with fewer strikeouts than lasting five with double-digit strikeouts. Kendrys Morales had three hits and got his 500th career RBI to help the Kansas City Royals win their fourth straight, beating the Oakland Athletics 4-2 Friday night. Eric Hosmer homered and Lorenzo Cain also each drove in a run for the Royals.
