Wild Card Game 1 Victory for Owens and Oakland
If the Cleveland Guardians were expecting the pressure of the playoffs to get to James Owens, they underestimated the old man.

The Oakland Athletics got a strong start from the 37-year-old left-hander. Owens threw 6.2 innings of 1-hit ball as Oakland won the contest 7-1 at Oakland Coliseum 1968-1995 to take the lead in their best-of-5 series with the Guardians. The Athletics now lead 1-0.

Jack Clark, the Oakland third baseman, contributed a 2-run single in the bottom of the sixth inning to make the score 3-1, Athletics. For the game, Clark was 1-3 with a walk. He drove in 2 runs.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Clark.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Oakland Coliseum 1968-1995 in Oakland.
