Notes

The Athletics are in sole possession of the American League wild card for the first time since June 24. ... At 69-50, the A's have their best record after 119 games since they were 72-47 in 1992 ... LF Terrence Long has homered in back-to-back games for the first time since September 9-10, 2002 against Anaheim. ... RHP Keith Foulke pitched the final two innings for his 29th save. The last time an A's closer pitched two innings for a save was on June 1, 1999, when Billy Taylor accomplished the feat against Tampa Bay.
