Kemp went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a stolen base and two runs Wednesday in the Athletics' 12-10 win over the Royals.
While starting five of the Athletics' last six contests, Kemp has gone 8-for-20 with a pair of walks, five runs and two RBI to improve his slash line to .269/.374/.406 across 344 plate appearances on the season. He's seen most of his action in left field this month, but Seth Brown's recent return from the COVID-19 injured list has resulted in Kemp picking up more work at the keystone of late. Kemp will start at second base and bat ninth in Thursday's series finale.
