Brad Ziegler got his sixth save of the season beating the Dan Francisco Giants 5-1. He came in the eighth inning to hold a 4-1 lead and pitched a perfect inning, while striking out two batters. Oakland scored a run in the bottom of the eighth, so the A's rested Andrew Bailey and gave the ninth to Zielger.


No alarm for Bailey owners. Frankly, Bailey needed some rest after pitching four out of the past six days.

In all Ziegler looked sharp and is a great pickup because the A's put him in allot of positions to get wins and possibly saves. I advise taking him over most other setup men.
