The Oakland Athletics hit six home runs as they went on to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 15-1 on Tuesday evening. Little second basemen Mark Ellis hit two of the home runs and had four rbi out of the lead off spot. Great job for Ellis who as struggled at the plate this season. He is now hitting .265 on the season with 28 rbi.
Eric Chavez, Kurt Suzuki, Bobby Crosby, and Rajai Davis all hit home runs in the game as well. Talk about making the long ball work for you in a game. Anytime you hit six home runs like the A’s did, you should crush your opponent just like they did.
Justin Duchscherer was the winning pitcher and is now 7-4 on the season. Duchscherer pitched eight inning while only giving up five hits and one run. The one run came in the fifth inning on a fielder choice to third base. Andrew Brown came in to the game in the ninth inning to finish things up with out any problems.
