Athletics Drop Mets with Late Score
Getting a good performance from first baseman John Kruk, the Oakland Athletics defeated the New York Mets, 8-4. Kruk went 1 for 2 with a home run and 3 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Athletics. Oakland reliever Lee Tunnell picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. Randy Hennis was saddled with the loss. The second-place Athletics have won 4 consecutive games.

One of the biggest contributors for Oakland was designated hitter Jose Canseco. In the top of the ninth, with the bases loaded, Canseco got a full count fastball and drew a walk, driving in 1 run. That put the Athletics on top, 5-4.

"I was able to barrel up some pitches," said Kruk.
