Rickey Henderson equaled Ty Cobb's A.L. record of 96 stolen bases in one season by pilfering four sacks in the course of the A's 7-4 victory over the Brewers. Cobb set his mark in 1915. Rick Langford pitched his 27th complete game and was the winner when the A's broke a 3-3 tie with four runs in the sixth inning, two on a double by Dave McKay and two on a homer by Rob Picciolo.
