Emil Brown launched 2 homeruns as the Oakland A's topped the Cleveland Indians
by a score of 7 to 2 at Progressive Field.
 
Brown was unconscious all day. The Cleveland fans hated to see him approaching
the batter's box as he just kept delivering base hits! He launched a
rocket-shot out of the park for a Grand Slam homerun in the 1st inning,
doubled in the 7th inning and blasted a solo shot (his 2nd of the season) in
the 9th inning.  For the game Oakland out-hit Cleveland 9 to 4.  
 
Justin Duchscherer(2-0) was the winner allowing 2 runs in 7 innings. C.C.
Sabathia(3-3) took the loss.  He was unable to control the Oakland offense
and allowed 6 hits and 2 walks in 3 and 1/3 innings.  
 
'I felt great out there today,' Brown said, 'Maybe I should make a regular
habit of getting to bed on time!'

managed only 5 hits on the afternoon.  
 
Rafael Perez earned his 2nd save.

Matt Garza struck out 10 batters and Carlos Pena slammed 2 homeruns at
Ameriquest Field as the Tampa Bay ballclub belted the Texas Rangers by the
count of 12 to 0.
 
Garza(3-0) came through with a virtuoso performance against the Texas hitters.
He allowed just 5 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings reducing his ERA from 3.14
to 1.93.  Tampa Bay banged out 13 hits on the afternoon.  
 
Kason Gabbard(1-1) was charged with the loss.  He was hit hard and gave up 9
hits and 4 walks in 5 innings.  Garza, when asked about his 10 strikeout
performance noted, 'The important thing is that we won, if I get 20 and we
lose, what good does it do our team? But, on the other hand, since we won it
feels great!'

In a close game the Texas Rangers got by the Tampa Bay ballclub by the score
of 8 to 6.
 
Texas wasted no time and took the lead in the first inning as they creamed
Tampa Bay blasting them with 7 runs on 6 hits.  That scoring would be all
that was needed.  Tampa Bay had 12 hits in the game while Texas had 9, but
Texas had the more timely hits.  
 
The victory was credited to Matt Harrison(1-1) who went 6 innings, allowing 4
runs. Frank Francisco was credited with his 3rd save.  Scott Kazmir(1-2) was
the loser.  
 
'I always am most impressed when a pitcher finds a way to win even without his
best stuff,' Chris Centorcelli said after the game.  'Harrison did not have
command of his pitches most of the afternoon, but he proved he really knew
how to pitch!'
