Royals can't hold lead again in 4-3 loss to A's

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) David Lough's indecision cost the Kansas City Royals.

The Royals' center fielder hesitated momentarily before breaking in to try and make a running catch on Derek Norris' short fly ball in the eighth inning.

The ball dropped in for a hit and then skipped past Lough for an error, taking with it any hopes Kansas City had of avoiding a sweep on the road.
