Dodgers 5, Athletics 4
Dallas Braden delivered his sixth consecutive quality start. (Chris Carlson/AP)
By David Ely / MLB.com
Dallas Braden pitched six impressive innings -- retiring the first 14 batters he faced -- but the lefty was gone by the time the A's offense came to life. Jason Giambi and Bobby Crosby homered in the top of the eighth inning, but the Dodgers tied the score in the bottom half before winning in the 10th inning.
