OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Marco Scutaro lined a single to left to drive in the winning run in the 10th inning, and the Oakland Athletics rallied to defeat the Cleveland Indians 5-4 on Wednesday.

Mark Ellis hit a two-out single in the 10th and Jay Payton followed with a double against David Riske (2-3), who then gave up Scutaro's single.

The A's won for the eighth time in nine games and improved to 8-2 in extra innings this year. Rookie Huston Street (4-1) pitched two innings for the victory.

The A's tied it in the ninth against closer Bob Wickman, who had converted his previous 11 saves but blew his fourth save opportunity of the year.

1. I just hope the new owner builds a park...

with his own money and be done with it. Only way this new generation A's will have the revenue to stay together and win a title. Otherwise, expect them to disappoint again in the falls to come.

2. I knew Eric Chavez growing up

he went to my high school and I played little league with him. I remember pitching against him once when I was about fourteen. I believe he went 2 for 2 against me with 2 home runs.
