Erupting for four runs in the fifth inning, the A's defeated the Angels, 6-4. The A's were behind, 4-2, when Jeff Newman led off the fifth with a single and Rob Picciolo followed with another single. Jeff Cox sacrificed and pitcher Bruce Kison threw the ball into left field, allowing Newman to score. Rickey Henderson then slammed a three-run homer. [The Sporting News]
