Oakland 5-3 Victors at Angel Stadium of Anaheim
Oakland Athletics starter Chief Bender found his groove in his team's 5-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels are now 4-9.

Oakland used a clutch at-bat from Al Simmons to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Felt great, felt really good," said Bender.
