Athletics Post 8-6 Win Over Cleveland
Thanks in large part to first baseman Erubiel Durazo, the Oakland Athletics beat the Cleveland Guardians, 8-6. Durazo went 2 for 5 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Oakland reliever Joel Hanrahan picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Jake Dittler was saddled with the loss. Trevor Hoffman closed out the game, earning his 4th save.

Oakland used a timely hit from David Dellucci to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Athletics ahead, 8-6. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

Durazo told the media after that game that the mood in the clubhouse is "extremely positive" after a win like that.

The 4th-place Athletics have won 4 straight.
