A's Win And Avoid Being Swept
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Guillermo Moscoso allowed two hits in seven innings and Scott Sizemore homered and drove in two runs to help the Oakland Athletics salvage the finale of a three-game series with a 2-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday.
Sizemore homered in the second inning and added an RBI single in the fifth against Jason Vargas (6-6) to give Moscoso (3-4) more than enough support to win for the first time since May 29.
Moscoso won his first two starts before going 0-4 in June, despite posting a 2.25 ERA. Despite the solid performance, Moscoso's spot in Oakland's rotation is in jeopardy with Tyson Ross expected to come off the disabled list following the All-Star break.
In other games: Alexi Ogando allowed four hits over seven innings in his last start before the All-Star break as Texas completed a three-game sweep of Baltimore with an 13-5 victory.
