WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) --- J.T. Ginn took a no-hitter into the seventh
inning and the Athletics routed the Washington Nationals 15-1 to end their
10-game losing streak Saturday night.
Jacob Wilson, Tyler Soderstrom and Carlos Cortes homered to help the A's bounce
back 24 hours after a 23-4 loss to Washington, their most lopsided defeat in
more than 70 years.
Ginn (8-6) allowed one hit in 6 1/3 scoreless innings. He struck out seven and
walked three.
The 27-year-old right-hander retired 19 of the first 22 batters he faced and
lost his bid for a no-hitter when Keibert Ruiz lined a clean single to center
field with one out in the seventh.
After that, Ginn was pulled by manager Mark Kotsay and received a standing
ovation.
Ruiz also singled in the ninth and scored on Jorbit Vivas' sacrifice fly.
Vivas, an infielder, pitched for the Nationals for the second consecutive
night. He worked the eighth inning and allowed one run, one hit, one walk and a
hit batter.
Wilson and Soderstrom each scored three times. They both homered off starter
Zack Littell (7-7), who gave up eight runs, eight hits and four walks in six
innings.
Wilson and Jeff McNeil each had three of the Athletics' 13 hits.
