Janie McCauley reports:

Several weeks ago, Eric Chavez decided to quit concerning himself with his results at the plate and focus on having quality at-bats.

The approach is working wonders — and his stroke is finally coming back.

So are the Athletics.

Chavez hit a grand slam and Oakland won its season-best fourth straight game, 5-3 over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night.

Chavez is 8 for 24 over his last six games with a slugging percentage of .583. If the process is good, good results follow.
