Oakland Beats Los Angeles, 7-4
Oakland Athletics starter Lefty Grove pitched well against the Los Angeles Angels at O.co Coliseum, leading his team to a win, 7-4. Grove got the win, improving to 16-8. He gave up 5 hits and walked 4 over 7.1 innings. He allowed 4 runs. Dennis Eckersley got the save, his 48th in 52 chances.

Mickey Cochrane had a big 2-run home run for the Athletics in the bottom of the third inning. With Oakland leading 3-1 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a slider from 24-year old right-handed pitcher Andy Messersmith and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Athletics on top, 5-1.

"Obviously, you want to go out there and be good every time out," said Grove. "I take the ball every day with the same mindset."

The Athletics improved their record to 91-66 with the win over Los Angeles.
