The Oakland Athletics were able to beat the Cleveland Indians to open up there three game series on Friday night.  The Athletics got ahead early, and then went on to win 6-3.

Justin Duchscherer picked up the win but had to leave the game after pitching five innings.  He felt some dis-comfirt in his bicep.  He was pitching very well until he had to leave the game, hopefully it isn’t anything serious and he will be able to make his next start.

Bobby Crosby, Jack Hannahan, Kurt Suzuki, and Ryan Sweeney all had one RBI each to help the offense.
