At O.co Coliseum, the Oakland fans witnessed a great pitcher's duel.  Brandon
McCarthy(2-1) finally bested his Chicago (AL) opposite, Chris Sale(1-6), by
the score of 2 to 0.
 
McCarthy gave a fine effort for Oakland.  He allowed 6 hits and 3 walks in 5
and 1/3 innings seeing his ERA drop from 3.55 to 2.93.  After the 4th inning,
neither team was able to score.  
 
Grant Balfour preserved the game for McCarthy, recording his his 11th save.
The loss was charged to Sale.  He was pinned with the loss despite not
allowing an earned run in his 7 innings of work.  
 
'He gutted it out' Lee Michaels said of McCarthy.  'I was very impressed by
his tenacity.'
