San Francisco hit three homers Saturday but it was a drag bunt that drove in the lead run in a 10 inning win over Philadelphia. The Giants failed in an attempt to sweep the series as the Phillies salvaged the last game with a 12 inning win while the Dodgers were taking all three of their games from the Mets in New York cutting the Giants lead in the NL West to 1 1/2 games.
Notes: Can you believe it? The Oakland A's started three rookie pitchers and a veteran cast off and swept the New York Yankees who have the best record in baseball. . . The Giants are noted for their excellent pitching staff but it costs millions while the A's pitchers are paid minimum baseball wage. . . The Bay Area Yankees fans have always been very vocal in selling out the Coliseum in the past were missing this week. . . This year the series only drew between 24,000 and 30,5000 on Sunday and it is evident that the talk of moving to San Jose has really hurt the fan base in Oakland. . . Gary Brown has cooled off going hit less in his last two games which dropped his average to .290
