Athletics Topple Tigers, 5-3, as Henderson Shines
Oakland took on Detroit in front of a lively crowd.

In the 5-3 Oakland win over Detroit, the impact of Rickey Henderson was substantial. Henderson, who is tied for 8th in the AL in bases on balls with 34, went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Oakland, now 44-34, holds down second place in the American League Western Division.

With Oakland leading 2-0 in the top of the second, Henderson came up to bat against Detroit pitcher Justin Verlander. Henderson hit a sinker to center for a 3-run home run. His 3rd home run of the season put the Athletics on top, 5-0.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Henderson told the Oakland Citizen.
