Oakland, Calif. ? So far, the “scrappy” Oakland Athletics haven’t been hindered much by their lack of power.

Oakland battered rookie phenom Luke Hochevar with base hits throughout the order 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.

“It was scrappy,” A’s manager Bob Geren said. “I think there are some home runs coming. We definitely have some power in this lineup, it just hasn’t shown yet. It’s nice to have a consistent attack when you don’t have the longball. … We’ve been doing a lot of things right.”

Rob Bowen, Chris Denorfia and Mark Ellis all hit RBI singles in the fourth off Hochevar as the A’s batted around, and Bowen singled in another run in the fifth.

Kansas City managed just three hits and had 15 in the series to Oakland’s 42.
