Osvaldo Bido led the Oakland Athletics to a 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, striking out six in five innings and securing his third consecutive win. He allowed just one run and two hits, extending his impressive scoreless streak to 18 innings before giving up an RBI double. The A's offense was supported by Lawrence Butler, Miguel Andujar, and Darell Hernaiz, each contributing two hits to help split the four-game series. Manager Mark Kotsay praised Bido's recent mechanical adjustments and growing confidence on the mound. The A's bullpen also shone, with five relievers combining for four scoreless innings, and Mason Miller earning his 20th save. Meanwhile, Rays starter Jeffrey Springs struggled, allowing three runs and matching his shortest outing of the season.
