Starting pitcher David Saldana pitched well enough to help the Oakland Athletics beat the Cleveland Guardians, 5-3. Saldana went 6.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 3, and struck out 8. His record improves to 8-11. Freddy Hernandez earned the save for Oakland, his 18th of the year.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Ben Celeste? The Oakland center fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put the Athletics on top, 1-0. For the game, Celeste had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"They played a better game than we did," said Cleveland skipper Isaiah Batts.

Oakland now sits at 50-80, while Cleveland falls to 73-57.
