SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Dan Haren is pitching so well the Athletics hardly miss Barry Zito. Bobby Crosby homered off Zito, Mark Ellis also connected and Haren won his seventh straight decision, leading the A's past the San Francisco Giants 6-0 on Saturday.
"Whoever else is on the staff or not, Danny's been unbelievable," Oakland assistant general manager David Forst said. "No doubt he's the ace of our staff right now. He certainly deserves to be in conversations with the best pitchers in the game."
Mark Kotsay and Travis Buck each singled in runs and Jason Kendall added a sacrifice fly as the A's earned their seventh victory in eight games to capture their fourth straight series. Crosby also singled twice after hitting his sixth homer of the year with two outs in the third.
