Braden, A's take series from DetroitBaseball Betting Lines07/01/2009 - Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dallas Braden threw seven strong innings, and Jack Cust and Jason Giambi each hit a two-run homer, as the Oakland Athletics defeated Detroit, 5-1, in the rubber match of a three-game series. Braden (6-7) allowed one run on five hits and a walk and struck out three in the win. Brad Ziegler and Andrew Bailey each tossed a scoreless inning to end the game. Kurt Suzuki doubled and drove in a run for the A's, who won this series after losing five in a row. "We've been facing good pitching all year," Cust said. "Today we went out and beat one of the best pitchers in the league. We've just got to take that mindset and remember that, and go into these next games against guys that are similar to him and try to have good at-bats." Justin Verlander (8-4) allowed four runs on six hits and a walk in six innings and took the loss. He also struck out six. "I went back and looked over some of the tape and the two pitches that hurt me weren't that bad of pitches," Verlander said. "Can't be too disappointed. Obviously I am in the results, but the way I threw the ball, I'm all right with it." Gerald Laird doubled and had the lone RBI for Detroit, which has dropped its last two series. The Tigers got on the scoreboard in the second inning, as Ryan Raburn hit a one-out single and Laird later doubled to drive him in. But Cust hit a two-run shot in the fourth, his 14th homer of the season, to give Oakland the lead. Giambi then homered to right in the sixth after Matt Holliday had led off with a single. In the eighth, Bobby Crosby had a one-out base hit and came around on Suzuki's double to make it 5-1. Bailey then struck out the side in the ninth, working around a one-out walk to Marcus Thames in the process, to finish the game. Game Notes Oakland finished its nine-game homestand with a 3-6 mark...Detroit fell to 2-4 on its current nine-game road trip...Both clubs play again Friday, with the A's opening a three-game set at Cleveland and the Tigers beginning a three- game series at Minnesota.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee. "I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
