The A's rallied for two runs in the ninth inning and snapped the Tigers' six-game winning streak with a 3-2 victory. The A's were held to only three hits in the first eight frames, but put together a single by Dave Revering and double by Mario Guerrero for a run in the fourth to tie the score at 1-1. Jason Thompson homered in the seventh to put the Tigers ahead again.
