Athletics Clip Yankees, 3-2
In a low-scoring contest between the Oakland Athletics and the New York Yankees, former first round draft pick Cliff Lee proved to be the difference. The Oakland left-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-2 Athletics win. Getting the save was Francisco Cordero, his 1st. Early on, the Athletics, at 23-8, have piled up the wins.

The Athletics got a big at-bat from left fielder Chone Figgins. For the game, Figgins went 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the top of the sixth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 2nd home run of the season gave Oakland a 3-1 lead.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said New York manager Rick Burson. "But we decided not to take it."
