Shelby Rich earned the win for Oakland. He lasted 6.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 9. With the win, he raised his record to 6-9. The Athletics raised their record to 49-85.

Muneo Kawachi contributed to the Oakland win with a solo home run in the bottom of the second. For the game, the center fielder had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 3 runs scored, and 1 run batted in.

"It feels good to get this one," Kawachi told the Oakland Bulletin.
