Billy Burns brought in Eric Sogard to score with an RBI single to left field. The Athletics continued to take the lead as Mark Canha hit the go-ahead home run for a 2-1 lead. In the bottom of the sixth Rucinski gave up his third run of the day as J.P. Sportman homered while the Athletics looked to finish with a win.
The final run scored of the contest was from a ground out to Angels first baseman Michael Snyder by Anthony Aliotti. J.P. Sportman scored as the final here was 4-1 Oakland. Athletics closer Jeff Urlaub (0-0, 0.00 ERA) earned the save, as the Angels won’t have to worry about playing a divisional opponent until the regular season.
