Guardians Fall, 12-6, to Stark, Athletics
The Oakland Athletics beat the Cleveland Guardians, 12-6, at O.co Coliseum. Kevin Stark, who finished 3rd in the AL in on-base percentage with .385 in 2098, starred for Oakland. He went 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. The 4th-place Athletics lifted their record to 71-87.

With Oakland leading 7-2 in the bottom of the fifth, Stark came up to bat against Cleveland pitcher Steve Ardan. Stark hit a cutter to center for a grand slam home run. His 26th home run of the season put the Athletics on top, 11-2.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Stark, "and then get after it again."
