3 8 0 FINAL

Player of the Game- Erubiel Durazo, 2 for 4, 2 RBIs.

Probables
Pineiro (2-1, 5.85) vs Zito (0-4, 6.60)

Overview- Barry Zito is going thru his worst string of his young carrer so far. Don't expect Joel Pineiro to give some sympathy hes been struggling this season too and Im surprised hes 2-1 not 0-3. The A's will be on a high after holding of the M's in 10 innings yesterday. How will the M's respond to almost coming back from 4-0 to lose to a Kotsay single? Will Kotsay get more than singles this time around, he got 5 singles in yesterdays game. Runs will probably come at a electrifying rate today.
