Top 1:
- Ryan Sweeney batting lead-off for Oakland, and Saunders strikes him out swinging.
- Orlando Cabrera backs Chone Figgins up at third, but he's able to make the long throw in time.
- Nice to see the Giambino back in Oakland. Giambi flies out to center.
- Figgins flies out to short center-field.
- Soft blooper by Howie Kendrick is caught by Nomar Garciaparra at first.
- Bobby Abreu singles back through the box, with the ball actually bouncing up off of second base.
- Vlad Guerrero bounces back to the mound to end the inning.
- New Athletic Matt Holliday up. He pokes a grounder passed a diving Kendrick at second for a single.
- Wow, Nomar is 35 years old. That is kind of sad. He flies out to Abreu in right.
- Eric Chavez actually in the line-up for the A's. It seems like it's been years since I've seen that. He serves a ball to center for a single.
- Kurt Suzuki gets his bat broken and grounds into a double paly.
- Torii Hunter swings at the first pitch and grounds out to short. He's no Adam Jones.
- Kendry Morales flies out to right.
- Jaun Rivera grounds out to short.
- One of the announcers just mentioned Three True Outcomes as Jack Cust hits. Or, more accurately, walks. And he wasn't talking about it in a negative sense. Good job, whoever you are.
- Mark Ellis grounds to Figgins at third, who makes a nice throw from the ground to force Cust at second.
- Groundball by Sweeney goes under Kendrick's glove and everybody's safe.
- A's attempt a double steal, but Ellis gets cut down at third.
- Cabrera pops out to end the inning.
- Jeff Mathis singles to start the third.
- Erick Aybar flies out to center.
- Figgins draws a walk.
- Hendrick singles into right to give the Angels an early 1-0 lead.
- Vlad hits a groundball into the hole at short - Cabrera makes a sliding stop but his throw bounces a few times and Guerrero beats it out. Another runner scores to make it 2-0.
- Hunter flies out to center to finish out the scoring.
- Giambi gets hit by a pitch and trots down to first.
- Two pop-outs and a flyball to deep center by Chavvy leaves him there.
- One-out single by Rivera, but Braden retires the next two Angels to leave him stranded.
- Cust draws a one-out walk, and Ellis tries to drop down a bunt but it rolls foul.
- Mark ends up grounding out to third.
- Sweeney hits a high flyball to center, but Hunter tracks it down.
- After a Figgins strike-out, Kendrick extends the lead t0 3-0 with a home run to right-center.
- Abreu K's, and then Vlad singles up the middle.
- Hunter singles to right. If the Angels put another couple of runs on the board, I may just go to bed.
- Morales grounds back to the mound for the third out.
- Cabrera starts the sixth with a double down the third-base line.
- Quality breaking-ball by Saunders gets Giambi to chase for strike three.
- Hillday grounds to short, with Aybar throwing to second to get Cabrera who had strayed too far from the bag.
- Nomar pops out.
- Rivera doubles down the right-field line.
- Mathis grounds out to short.
- Aybar flies to short left, with Holliday running in to make a nice sliding catch.
- Figgings flies out to center. Still 3-0 LA of A.
- Saunders gets two quick outs in the seventh, but with Jack Cust coming up (who Joe has already walked twice) the Angels will bring in Jose Arredondo (a righty).
- He gets Cust swinging, so it's two walks and a strike-out for the Three True Outcomes champ.
- Michael Wuertz in for the A's on the mound.
- He shows that good slider, and gets Kendrick swinging over the top of it.
- Wuertz gets Abreu swinging at a hanging slider.
- Vlad pops out to short. Good inning for the reliever, but the A's will need some runs soon.
- 1-2-3 inning by Scot Shields.
- Andrew Bailey counters with a perfect inning of his own.
- Brian Fuentes in to close things out for the Angels.
- Giambi grounds out - one down.
- Holliday flies out - two down.
- Nomer flies out to center for the final out.
