 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Eric Chavez and Frank Thomas were working on putting away their batting helmets after their home runs when Milton Bradley's ball began sailing toward the right-field seats. Their celebrating teammates never had a chance to sit down.
Chavez, Thomas and Bradley homered on three straight pitches in the sixth inning in a rare achievement, and the Oakland Athletics snapped a four-game losing streak with a 5-4 victory over the Texas Rangers on Saturday.
"It's always special to see that," said Thomas, Oakland's new designated hitter. "It doesn't happen very often. I've been in the middle before but not on successive pitches."
