Though he had a terrific game, Chase Utley could not prevent his team, the Philadelphia Phillies, from absorbing a loss. Oakland won the game, 7-4. Utley went 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Dennis Eckersley earned his 47th save, after closing out the game. At 90-64, the Athletics claim first place in the American League Western Division.

Oakland took the lead, 7-4, on Bob L Johnson's 2nd home run of the season. The 3-run home run came off Philadelphia pitcher Mitch Williams in the bottom of the eighth.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Johnson. "You've got to get results."
