Oakland Beats Washington, 8-2
The Oakland Athletics locked up a win at Nationals Park, knocking off the Washington Nationals, 8-2. On the mound for Oakland was right-hander Ron Baker. He played a major role in the triumph. The winner was Baker. He threw 6.2 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was Joey Gatto. The Athletics improved their record to 53-62 with the win over Washington.

Oakland used the clutch hitting of Ismael Díaz to snag the win. The first baseman drilled a grand slam home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 8-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

Baker said his team "played with focus."
