Dallas Braden did his best Justin Duchscerer impersonation tonight, going 7 innings and allowing only 1 run. I was hoping he'd be allowed to go out for the 8th, but Geren used Devine and Ziegler to close it out. The A's offense as usual was anemic, however, Daric Barton hit his 7th homerun of the season off of Jared Weaver. Barton has been coming on of late, he seems to enjoy the home stretch a lot. He did awfully well last September when he got the called up. Another bright spot was Mr. Ziegler, he recorded his 5th save in as many chances, getting the Angels out 1-2-3. Ziegler has said that he doesn't envision himself as a closer, however, the way he's going I'd like for him to stay there the rest of the year.
Hopefully the A's get another one tomorrow.
