Athletics Rally to Eke Out Win
The Philadelphia Athletics had to overcome a fine performance from Chi-town pitcher Vernon García to grab a 3-2 win at Municipal Stadium. García allowed 3 runs over 10 innings. Gary Ross earned the win after being called from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. He upped his record to 1-0. Philadelphia sits at 2-8.

Philadelphia won the game in the bottom of the 11th inning. With no outs and Vernon García on the mound for Chi-town, third baseman Steve Garvey hit a dramatic solo home run, bringing Athletics fans to their feet.

"Winning never gets dull," said Garvey.
