Anaheim, CA (AHN) - Rajai Davis had a career-high four hits and the Oakland Athletics defeated the Los Angeles Angels 6-5 Wednesday night.

Emil Brown had a home run and three RBIs in the win.

The Athletics won two of three from the Angels and took a series for the first time in their last 13 attempts.

The Angels haven't won any of their last five series since sweeping the Yankees at home.

They have a 15-game lead on the Texas Rangers atop the AL West.

Huston Street (4-5) retired all five batters he faced after coming on in the sixth and striking out Mike Napoli with two men on.

Rookie Brad Ziegler, who replaced Street as the Athletics' closer, got five outs for his sixth save.

Joe Saunders (14-7) threw 49 pitches over 1 1/3 innings. He allowed six runs on eight hits.
