Being just a little less than perfect finally caught up to Dallas Braden in the bottom of the 6th inning, as Kenry Morales knocked in Eric Aybar to give the Angels a 1-0 lead over the A's, followed by a three-run line drive into the seats from Hideki Matsui, who opened up the game and made it 4-0. The four-run lead exceeds the total number of hits from the A's thus far, who have only scratched out three against Joe Saunders, including two hits from DH Josh Donaldson. Onto the 7th, as the A's consider possibly scoring.
