Athletics Rally Late to Clip Atlanta
The Atlanta Braves got a sterling performance from left fielder Willi Castro, but the Oakland Athletics still prevailed, 5-4. Castro went 2 for 4 with a home run, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. Oakland reliever Allan Winans picked up the win, raising his record to 2-1. Jeff Hoffman was tagged with the loss. The victory puts Oakland at 23-38.

Nick Gordon came through with a big-time hit for Oakland. The second baseman smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"I'm proud of the way we took care of business and got the 'W' today," Gordon told the Oakland Citizen. "Whatever it takes."
