Joe Saunders struggled with his command all night. His errant pickoff attempt to first base was the perfect example of how things went.

Speedy Rajai Davis scored the go-ahead run from first in the sixth inning on Saunders' miscue, and the Oakland Athletics snapped a four-game home losing streak to the rival Los Angeles Angels with a 7-3 victory Friday night.

"It was a combination of hustle along the bases and (third-base coach Mike Gallego) waving me on. He was my eyes when I couldn't see," Davis said. "Not only were we aggressive on the basepaths, we were able to take advantage with men on base."
