The Athletics can't hit their way out of a bag this season, but they're backing up their pitchers with great defense. I've seen two fantastic catches in the outfield tonight and good work by the infielders on double plays. The game is scoreless after six innings.

Update: Steve Finley puts one where no defener can get it, giving the Angels a 1-0 lead in the 7th. Blanton has now given up three home runs, all solo shots.
