News - Rajai Davis
Rajai Davis drove in four runs and scored once Tuesday to lead Oakland in a 6-1 romp over the Texas Rangers. Kurt Suzuki also drove in a run for the Athletics, who have won seven of their last nine games. Oakland starter Edgar Gonzalez lasted four-plus innings and Craig Breslow (7-7) picked up the win
Rajai Davis gave Oakland the lead by scoring from first on a botched pickoff attempt Friday, sending the Athletics to a 7-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels had a four-game winning streak halted and missed out on a chance to increase their two-game lead over Texas in the American League West. Bobby Crosby hit a three-run homer to give Oakland a 3-1 lead in the fourth but the Angels came back to tie it in the fifth. With the score knotted at 3-3 in the sixth, Davis drew a four-pitch walk off starter Joe Saunders (8-6).
