Hunter's Homer Not Enough To Beat A's
Trevor Cahill pitched six scoreless innings to become Oakland's first 15-game winner in three years in the A's 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday.
Mark Ellis, Daric Barton and Cliff Pennington all drove in runs for Oakland, which won its second straight following a four-game losing streak.
Torii Hunter homered for the Angels, who have lost nine of 12. Cahill (15-6) gave up just four hits, all singles, but walked a career-high six. The right-hander, who has won six of his last eight starts, allowed only one runner past second.
Coming off his worst outing of the season when he gave up eight runs and nine hits over four innings in an 11-1 loss at the New York Yankees, Cahill repeatedly had to pitch out of trouble.
