Oakland A's win in extra innings on a walk off HR by Chris Carter.
The A's, who dealt starting pitchers Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill for prospects this offseason, have the lowest ERA in the AL. In fact, they have the 3rd lowest ERA in all of baseball, despite being in the higher scoring AL.
Pretty impressive, considering their no-name pitching staff.

A's team ERA at home...2.79...first in AL
A's team ERA on road....4.40...7th in AL
The Giants are in Washington for the 4th of July and for some reason the game starts at 11 am Eastern time....which means 8 am on the west coast.
Baseball at 8 am?
Before the World Series was sold to prime time TV corporations, World Series games started at 12:30 local time. I was living in Oregon for the 1960 World Series, and Oregonians could still exercise their constitutional right to refuse to observe Daylight Savings Time. So I had to set my alarm clock to get up at 8:30 every morning to watch the Pirates beat the Yanks. Mazeroski's homer came at 11:06 AM, Oregon time.
The Curse of the Commerce Comet. Todd Helton will try again today to pass Mickey Mantle on the all time hit list. Helton tied Mantle on June 30 against the Padres, then struck out his next seven straight ABs. But he put the ball in play his last three times up.

A's team ERA is 3.40, next best in AL is the LA Angels at 3.70.
Pretty good for a team that traded off their top two starting pitchers from last season.
