The Oakland Athletics got a marvelous performance from pitcher Eddie Plank. The left-hander kept the Los Angeles offense from ever getting much traction. The result was an impressive 7-2 Oakland victory at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. The loss drops Los Angeles to 10-12.

Oakland needed the clutch hitting of Dwayne Murphy to notch the win. The center fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Athletics on top, 3-0. For the game, Murphy had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It felt good to put the barrel on the ball," said Murphy.
