Baseball Betting Lines

05/31/2010 - Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rajai Davis finished 2-for-4 with two runs scored and swiped two bases as Oakland downed Detroit, 4-1, in the finale of a four-game set from Comerica Park.

Daric Barton, Ryan Sweeney and Kevin Kouzmanoff each knocked in a run for the Athletics, who took three of four in the set and have won eight of 10 overall.

Trevor Cahill (4-2) turned in 6 1/3 innings for the win, scattering five hits and a run while striking out three. Andrew Bailey notched the final four outs to earn his 11th save.

Austin Jackson drove in the lone run for the Tigers, who have dropped five of six. Justin Verlander (5-4) was charged in the loss with six hits and three runs and fanned eight over seven full frames.

The start of the game was delayed for two hours, 42 minutes due to rain, but Oakland didn't seem affected by the delay. Barton's RBI double and Kurt Suzuki's run-scoring double-play grounder gave the visitors an early edge.

Suzuki led off the seventh with a double, and two batters later a Kouzmanoff single made it 3-0 for the A's.

Bandon Inge singled with one down in the seventh, went to second when Ramon Santiago singled off Jerry Blevins, then scored on Jackson's two-out pinch-hit single.

However, in the eighth, Davis set up Oakland's fourth run by singling then stealing second and third. Barton walked, and Sweeney plated Davis with a fielder's choice grounder.

Michael Wuertz and Bailey combined to hold the Tigers off in the home half, then Bailey worked around a walk to Santiago by fanning Jackson swinging to end the contest.
