Oakland Rallies to 3-0 Win
Oakland used a superb performance from starting pitcher Bill Holland to down the Houston Astros, 3-0. Tim Hudson picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 6-3. Frank DiPino, who is tied for 3rd in the AL in holds with 13, was tagged with the loss. Dennis Eckersley earned the save, his 15th, for the Athletics.

Oakland used the timely hitting of Al Simmons to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Athletics on top, 1-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It was a solid team effort," said Simmons after the game.

Oakland, now 50-43, holds down second place in the American League Western Division.
