Dice K came back to have a strong game, along with Jed Lowrie, beat the A's 5 - 2.

The Chicago White Sox dropped out of 1st place for the 1st time since May, losing to the Kansas City Royals (who were in their throwback powder blues) 14 - 3. The game included a bench clearing, well, dance rather than brawl.
