Athletics Get 6-2 Win Versus Arizona
Juan Espinoza was instrumental in his team's 6-2 triumph over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The shortstop was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Oakland Athletics. With the win over Arizona, the Athletics improved to 41-47.

The Diamondbacks had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Athletics going into the bottom of the third inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old left fielder Mike Alderson came to the plate. Alderson hit a 2-run home run on a first pitch curveball from Arizona hurler Josh Howell. It was Alderson's 23rd home run of the year.

"There's still time to turn this season around," said Espinoza.
