Athletics Rally For Late Win Over Diamondbacks
The Athletics grabbed a win, 6-4, at Bank One Ballpark, overcoming a fine effort from Arizona pitcher Scott Sanders. Sanders went 7.1 innings and allowed 3 earned runs. The win was credited to Jeff C D'Amico in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Kelvim Escobar took the loss. Jason Bere nailed down his 10th save.

Oakland used the bat of Geronimo Pena to get the win. The second baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 5-4. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"I'm proud of the boys for pulling through," said Athletics manager Jim B. "The wins don't come easy for this team, but everyone's got an extra jump in their step after a game like this."

The Athletics now own a record of 29-43.
