 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Rich Harden wanted to keep going he felt so strong after 55 pitches. Yet Oakland's star right-hander knows he must pace himself in order to be on the mound in meaningful games come October.
The Athletics are in position to clinch the AL West this weekend against their biggest division rival — and Harden is thrilled he helped his team take a step closer to that goal.
Harden struck out seven in an impressive return from the disabled list and Jason Kendall hit a pair of two-run singles in Oakland's 7-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Thursday.
