Los Angeles touched Oakland starter Storm Davis for a pair of two-run homers from two players, Mickey Hatcher and Mike Davis, who had combined for only three home runs all year.
The first homer came in the first inning following a one-out single by firstbaseman Franklin Stubbs. Hatcher buried Davis' 1-1 pitch over the left-field fence and proceeded to round the bases like a starving man who has stumbled across a slab of meat.
Davis lived up to his reputation of giving up runs quickly in the fourth inning.
Hatcher led off the inning with a swinging-bunt single, beating out the throw of Lansford, who was playing back. Davis struck out Mike Marshall and John Shelby before surrendering a two-run homer to Davis on a 3-0 count. The home run was Davis' first since July 17...
Davis walked with two outs and catcher Rick Dempsey doubled off the right-centerfield wall to score Davis from first.
