The 'G' lens with SSM drive is VERY fast, And silent. I've only had the 'G' for a few days, but I used it at a water polo tourney and every shot was a keeper. Super sharp, well saturated colors, and everything else you could ask for from a 'G' series lens. A real winner with the A700 body.

Jesse Chavez (1-1), promoted from Triple-A on Friday

"I guess you can't walk every game off," said A's third baseman Brandon Inge, who had a 13-game hitting streak end.

Jesse Chavez (1-1), promoted from Triple-A on Friday, got the win and Darren Oliver recorded his second save.

The A's had won three in a row. They loaded the bases in the 10th, but Josh Reddick was called out on strikes.

Oakland went into extra innings for the sixth time in its last 24 games, a span that includes a pair of 15-inning wins.

"You're not going to win all those games, yet you expect to," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "We didn't come through this time."
