Athletics Win at Detroit, 5-3
Benefiting from an exceptional performance from Didi Gregorius, the Oakland Athletics defeated the Detroit Tigers, 5-3. Gregorius was 2 for 5 with 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2 for the Athletics. The winner was Jordan Montgomery, who threw 95 pitches over 7 innings. The left-hander was charged with 3 runs on 11 hits. Sean Doolittle nailed down his 11th save.

Oakland used the timely hitting of Eduardo Escobar to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Athletics on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Escobar told the Oakland Daily News. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."

The 'W' lifts Oakland's record to 24-24.
