Rodriguez Helps Senators Run Win Streak to 5
The Washington Senators trumped the Oakland Athletics, 7-5, at Oakland Coliseum. Washington shortstop Alex Rodriguez was named player of the game for his performance. He went 3 for 5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Troy Percival earned his 31st save in 35 chances. Washington has now won 5 in a row.

Washington used the timely hitting of Jon Nunnally to capture the win. The pinch hitter stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Senators on top, 7-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but he made it count.

Rodriguez called the triumph "a good team win."
