Hill strikes out 10, Reddick homers and A's beat Mariners (Yahoo Sports)

Rich Hill struck out 10 batters over six innings to give Oakland's overworked bullpen a break, Josh Reddick homered for the second straight game and the Athletics beat the Seattle Mariners 6-1 on Saturday night. Oakland won the first two games of the weekend series between the AL West foes thanks largely to a stellar performance from Hill (1-1). Reddick's two-run homer came with two outs in the fifth inning - he jumped on a changeup from Seattle starter Nathan Karns (0-1) for a 4-1 lead.
