Athletics Edge Diamondbacks, 4-3
The Arizona Diamondbacks got a superb performance from pitcher Floyd Youmans. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Oakland. The Athletics won the game, 4-3. In spite of the loss, Youmans was named the player of the game. He threw 6 innings of 4-hit ball. Jason Bere got the win, improving to 3-1. He worked 6.1 innings, giving up 1 run on 5 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 4. Even with the win, the Athletics have a dismal 41-84 record.

Oakland designated hitter Rickey Henderson said he was just trying to make contact when he came to bat with runners on 1st and 3rd in the top of the seventh. He did more than that -- Henderson hit a 3-run home run to stake Oakland to a 4-1 lead. His 13th home run of the season came off Arizona pitcher Mark Dewey.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Henderson told a Oakland Citizen reporter. "Sometimes we need just to relax."
