Breslow Has Brought His A's Game

Ryan Braun was 2-4 with 1 BB, 1 double (his 34th), and 1 run scored against the Cubs.

Gabe Kapler was 0-1 with 1 RBI against the Orioles. He laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt to get the run home.

Sam Fuld is nursing a sore thumb. Fuld made a diving catch in Monday's game against the Brewers, and in doing so, he bent his thumb back as it hit the ground. Fuld will likely be out for a week or so.
