Dallas Braden allowed an unearned run in five innings before leaving with stiffness in his pitching shoulder, and the Oakland Athletics beat the Detroit Tigers 6-2 on Saturday night for their second home win this season.
The Detroit Tigers - with help from the Oakland A's - erupted for seven runs in the 10th inning, and made it two straight over the A's with an 8-4 win.
A three-game winning streak spurred by solid pitching has the Detroit Tigers in position to reach .500 for the first time this year.
The Oakland Athletics are starting to score runs more consistently, and that could provide an even bigger boost for Gio Gonzalez, who hasn't needed much offensive help from his teammates.
