The Washington Senators knocked off the Oakland Athletics, 12-4, at Oakland Coliseum. Albert Belle, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason Washington won.

He pitched 6 innings, giving up 5 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 10 and walking 3. Milt Hill was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 1 of 1 save opportunities.

In the top of the fourth, with Washington trailing 3-2, center fielder Eric Davis hit a grand slam. The hit came off Bobby M Jones and put the Senators ahead, 6-3.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Belle.

The Senators bumped their record to 39-22 with this latest triumph.
