Garza(0-1) was hit with the loss.  He gave up 6 runs in 5 and 1/3 innings of
work.

WEB GEMS- Top 4th: Chase Utley robbed Lyle Overbay of a base hit.

Ryan Sweeney had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the Oakland A's beat the Los Angeles
Dodgers in 12 innings by a score of 12 to 8.

The score was knotted at 7 after nine innings.  Oakland won the hard fought
contest in the 12th inning.  The critical plate appearance was by Aramis
Ramirez who quieted the crowd when he doubled scoring two baserunners.
Oakland bats were hot in the 3rd inning which saw them plate 4 runs on 4 hits
and the 12th inning which saw them score 4 runs on 5 hits.  Oakland ended up
with 20 hits for the game while Los Angeles had 14.  

Jesus Colome(1-0) got credit for the victory, pitching 2 innings and allowing
no runs. Doug Waechter(0-1) took the loss in relief.

WEB GEMS- Top 7th: Geovany Soto blocked the plate, saving a run!

The Los Angeles Dodgers nipped the Oakland A's 3 to 2 at AT&T Park in a hard
fought contest.

In the bottom of the 7th inning Los Angeles scored 2 runs. Ryan Ludwick got
things going when he ripped a base-knock.  Johnny Anthony then called for a
steal which was successful.  Nate McLouth then drew a walk.  Los Angeles
continued their aggressive style with another stolen base.  Joe Crede came to
the plate and was walked intentionally to load the bases.  Geovany Soto kept
the inning going and hit a deep fly.  Matt Joyce stepped up next and he drew
a walk to load the bases.  Orlando Cabrera then smacked a single.  Cabrera
took second on the throw.  Carl Crawford followed next and he was walked
intentionally to load the bases.  Oakland had a chance to come back in the
9th but they came up short.  

Jamie Moyer(1-0) went 7 innings allowing 2 runs for the win. Huston Street
earned his 3rd save.  Brandon Webb(0-2) ended up with the loss.  His ERA
increased from 1.29 to 2.70 as he allowed 3 runs in 6 and 1/3 innings.  

'I had a little blister on my index finger before the game, but I thought it
was nothing.' Moyer said.  'I was lucky I got a win because I couldn't put
the ball where I wanted it.'

Rich Harden(2-0) and Justin Duchscherer(0-2) locked horns in a pitcher's duel
with Harden and the Los Angeles Dodgers coming out on top of the Oakland A's
2 to 1.

Oakland found themselves trailing quickly as the Los Angeles bats came through
in the first inning when they came up with 2 runs on 3 hits.  That was all
Harden needed.  Neither team managed to score after the 4th inning.  

Huston Street earned his 4th save.
