Athletics Raise Rally Flag, Beat Colorado, 5-4
Oakland overcame a superlative game from Ryan Bowen to beat Colorado, 5-4. The Colorado pitcher took player of the game honors in a losing cause. He threw 7 innings of 3-hit ball. The winner was Oakland reliever William VanLandingham, now 5-12. The loser was Mike Timlin. Oakland has now won 3 in a row.

Oakland used the bat of Mo Vaughn to get the win. The pinch hitter hammered a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 5-4. It was his lone hit in 1 at-bat, but it did its damage.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Vaughn told the Oakland Citizen.
