NEWLY-ACQUIRED MABRY SPARKS 5TH STRAIGHT WIN

OAKLAND -- John Mabry, recently traded for Jeremy Giambi, has hit the ground running for Oakland, smashing two home runs in today's 9-6 win over Tampa Bay.  In two games with the Athletics, Mabry is hitting .417 with 4 home runs and 9 RBI's in 12 at-bats.  His OPS stands at a nut-crunching 1.878.

Greg Myers, Miguel Tejada, and Eric Chavez also hit home runs in the game.  The A's chased Devil Ray's starter Travis Harper after 1 1/3 innings. 

Newly promoted stater Aaron Harang made the start for an injured Cory Lidle.  Harang received the win.  His final line: 7ip, 6h, 6r, 4er, 3bb, 4k.

Oakland has now won 5 straight after being swept embarassingly by the Blue Jays.  The finale of the three game series is tomorrow: Starters - TB: Joe Kennedy (3-5, 2.79) vs. Erik Hiljus (3-4, 7.49).
