Oakland beats Angels, nemesis Santana, 6-1

OAKLAND, Calif. - Trevor Cahill allowed just one run in a career-high eight innings to win his fourth straight start and the Oakland Athletics beat nemesis Ervin Santana and the Los Angeles Angels, 6-1, on Thursday.

OAKLAND, Calif. - Trevor Cahill allowed just one run in a career-high eight innings to win his fourth straight start and the Oakland Athletics beat nemesis Ervin Santana and the Los Angeles Angels, 6-1, on Thursday.

Ryan Sweeney scored three times and Daric Barton drove in one run and scored two for the A's, who earned a split of the four-game series against their AL West rivals.

The A's struck for two runs in the fourth and three in the fifth against Santana (6-4), who came into the game with an 11-2 record and a 1.50 ERA in 19 career appearances against Oakland.

The beneficiary of the outburst was Cahill (5-2), nicked only by an RBI single from Bobby Wilson in the fifth while extending his run of strong starts. Cahill gave up six hits and one walk, lowering his ERA to 1.33 in his past four starts.

Andrew Bailey pitched a perfect ninth.

Santana, who had won five straight starts, retired the first eight batters he faced but gave up a walk to Barton to open the fourth. Sweeney followed with an RBI double that right fielder Juan Rivera appeared to misplay and Gabe Gross drove in another run with a swinging bunt single with two outs.
