Oakland grabs 4-0 lead

TOKYO -- The A's lead 4-0 in the bottom of the third.

Emil Brown, whose baserunning gaffe in the ninth inning helped sink Oakland in the first game, just clobbered a 1-and-1 fastball from Jon Lester and deposited into the left field seats for a three-run homer.

The A's had nicked the Sox for a run in the second on run-scoring single from Chris Denorfia, scoring Bobby Crosby who was on with a one-out double.

Oakland starter Rich Harden looks locked in, with five strikeouts and no hits allowed through three.
