OAKLAND, Calif. -- John Buck ran enough just chasing a foul ball. Jogging around the bases after his home run was much easier. Buck and Mike Aviles hit home runs, Gil Meche allowed five hits over seven innings and the Kansas City Royals won their fourth consecutive road game, beating the fading Oakland Athletics 5-2 on Tuesday night. BEN MARGOT Associated Press Royals shortstop Mike Aviles makes the turn on an eighth-inning double play after forcing out the A's Kurt Suzuki at second base. Aviles also hit a solo homer in the sixth.
