Oakland Wins, Popovic 3-3
The 13-6 Oakland win over Pittsburgh was due largely to Ostoja Popovic. The Oaks third baseman went 3-3 with 2 doubles and a walk. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. The winning pitcher was Miguel Velázquez. His record is now 6-6. The right-hander went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits for the Oaks. Oakland is now 53-48, Pittsburgh 36-65.

Popovic made an early impact for Oakland when he stroked his 30th double of the season. The bases-clearing double, which came in the top of the third, put the Oaks on top, 7-2.

"We believe in ourselves and we're willing to work hard. It's a good combination," Popovic told the Oakland Observer.
