The Oakland Athletics topped the Miami Marlins, 5-2, in American League action at Marlins Ballpark. The standout performance belonged to Oakland pitcher and The United States, native Chief Bender.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Nap Lajoie? The Oakland second baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Athletics on top, 4-0. For the game, Lajoie had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Lajoie told a Oakland Citizen reporter that he was "pleased as punch" with the win.
