Athletics Bump Off Rays, 4-3
The Oakland Athletics did just enough to sneak past the Tampa Bay Rays, 4-3, at O.co Coliseum. Oakland pitcher Lefty Grove, in particular, had a standout performance. The setback makes Tampa Bay 42-55.

Making an impact for the home team was Miguel Tejada. In the bottom of the second, the 30-year old shortstop had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. That made the score 4-0, Athletics.

In postgame remarks, Athletics manager lauded Grove. "He's a good, young player. The future's bright for Lefty."
