Claudell Washington led off the seventh inning with a homer to spark the Athletics to a 5-3 victory over the Angels. A two-run single by pinch-hitter Joe Lahoud in the top half of the seventh put the Angels ahead, 3-2, before Washington tied the score with his homer.

After the next two batters were retired, Charlie Sands came up as a pinch-hitter and drew a walk. Matt Alexander ran for Sands, stole second and scored the go-ahead run when Sal Bando doubled. The A's added an insurance counter in the eighth on singles by Phil Garner and Bill North and a sacrifice fly by Washington. [The Sporting News]
