Athletics Walk It Off for 18th Win of Season
The Detroit Tigers wasted an inspired, 7-inning effort from starter Vaughn Eshelman, falling 2-1 to the Oakland Athletics at Oakland Coliseum. The Tigers, at 17-28, have lost 8 in a row.

Geronimo Pena had a nice at-bat for the Athletics with no one out in the bottom of the ninth. With runners on 1st and 2nd, the second baseman grounded out, which would prove important in the Oakland win.

"Whenever we hold the other team to one run," said Athletics manager Jim B, "I like our chances."
