Athletics Score Late, Topple Firebirds, 7-4
The Oakland Athletics weathered a fine game by Atlanta left fielder Joe McGrath to upend the Firebirds, 7-4, at O.co Coliseum. McGrath went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. At 44-49, the Athletics claim 4th place in the American League West Division.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Tony Rivera came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Atlanta pitcher Carlos A. Lopez, he hit a full count fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Oakland on top, 5-4.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Rivera.
