OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) – Oakland battered rookie phenom Luke Hochevar just as it did Kansas City’s experienced starters the previous two days.

Jack Hannahan’s two-run double highlighted a five-run fourth inning, Dana Eveland won for the first time in three starts and the Athletics completed a three-game sweep of the Royals with a 7-1 victory Sunday.
