August 6 - Energized by another "reverse boycott" day Saturday, the Oakland Athletics have another chance Sunday to accomplish something they've done just once this season -- a series sweep.
The Athletics snapped a four-game losing streak Saturday when Seth Brown delivered a tie-breaking RBI single in the eighth inning and a quartet of pitchers combined on a three-hitter in a 2-1 victory.
