Oakland is 5-5 this season. The A's have outscored their opponents 42-1 in their five victories, and while the scores in their five losses haven't been quite so lopsided, they have still been outscored 32-14 in those contests.

Kansas City jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in Thursday's game against the Twins but couldn't hang on, losing 8-5. It was the Royals' first loss of the season when scoring first (4-1).

Billy Butler signed with the A's as a free agent this offseason after spending his first eight seasons with Kansas City. Butler is off to a fast start with his new club, having recorded at least one hit in all 10 of the club's games. The last player to have a longer hitting streak to begin his career with the A's was Bob Dillinger, who had a hit in each of his first 12 contests with the team, April 18-30, 1950 (minimum 1 AB or SF in each game).

Sonny Gray has gone at least 7.0 innings and allowed no more than one earned run in each of his last four starts, dating back to last September 23 (2-1, 0.57 ERA, .154 opponent average). The last A's pitcher to have at least five consecutive starts with 7+ IP and no more than one earned run allowed was Cory Lidle, who did it in six straight, August 2-31, 2002  (streak not broken by any relief appearances).

Jeremy Guthrie is 2-0 with a 0.89 (2/20.1) ERA in his last three starts at Kauffman Stadium, dating back to last September 2. That is the second-lowest home ERA in the AL since that date (Jake Odorizzi, TB -- 0.45 ERA; minimum three starts).
