KANSAS CITY — Something about playing on the road just gets this A’s offense going.
After cooling off this past home stand from a 10-game road trip that saw the A’s hit 19 home runs and score 60 runs, the A’s wasted no time getting back to their hot-hitting ways away from Oakland in Friday’s 16-0 win over the Royals.
The 16 runs tied their season-high run total, having also scored 16 on April 11 at Dodger Stadium. A’s have now hit 50 home runs in 28 road games this year, as opposed to just 22 in 30 games at the Coliseum.
