The first-place Oakland Athletics took on the Tampa Bay Rays in front of a spirited crowd.

The Oakland Athletics beat the Tampa Bay Rays by a score of 9-7. Oakland first baseman Colt Keith deserved the lion's share of the credit. Keith went 3-4 with a triple and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Athletics. The win went to Abner Uribe in relief, making him now 4-3. Yariel Rodriguez took the loss for Tampa Bay.

Keibert Ruiz had a clutch at-bat with one out in the bottom of the sixth for the Athletics. Coming up with runners on 2nd and 3rd and Oakland trailing 6-5, he hit a 2-run single.

"It's nice to deliver when your team's counting on you," said Ruiz.

The last-place Rays have lost 4 consecutive games.
