Eduardo Escobar, who is tied for 9th in the AL in triples with 3, aided the Oakland cause with a run-scoring walk in the bottom of the sixth. For the game, the third baseman was 2-3 with a double and a walk.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Eflin, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."
