Dennis Eckersley struck out Carlos Peña with two runners on to save Oakland's 5-2 win over Tampa Bay, and clinch the A.L. West division title. The A's led their division almost all year, fueled by outstanding seasons from Jimmie Foxx, Jason Giambi, Bob Johnson, Charles Bender, Jack Coombs, Rollie Fingers, and Dennis Eckersley. Oakland still has work to do - if they can finish with the A.L.'s second-best record, they will earn a bye out of the Wild Card round of the Eternal Baseball playoffs.
