Diamondbacks Lose to Athletics, 5-2
The Oakland Athletics knocked off the Arizona Diamondbacks, 5-2, at Bank One Ballpark. Geronimo Pena, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason Oakland won. The second baseman was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Jason Bere was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 19 of 24 save opportunities. The third-place Athletics are now 44-50, the Diamondbacks 49-47.

Pena had an important at-bat with runners on 1st and 3rd in the top of the second, when he hit a 3-run home run. The Athletics went on to win.

"We played hard and won," said Pena. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
