					| Ray Llewellyn knocked in 3 runs to help Texas beat Oakland, 5-2. Llewellyn produced 1 single, 1 double, and 1 home run. The winner was Pimbly Nimblebottom, who threw 99 pitches over 6 innings. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs on 3 hits. Brad Kramer converted his 33rd save in 41 tries. 
 Andy Bowman, who is tied for 7th in the AL in stolen bases with 32, aided the Texas cause with a run-scoring  ground out in the top of the fifth. For the game, the right fielder drove in one run.
 
 "I felt good up there," said Bowman. "I saw the ball well."
 
 The Athletics, at 63-86, have lost 5 in a row.
