OAKLAND, Calif. Drew Butera Jersey . -- With the bat and with his arm, Yoenis Cespedes put on the best all-around performance of his career in front of a rare sellout crowd at the Oakland Coliseum. Cespedes finished a single shy of the cycle and threw out two runners at the plate, powering the Athletics past the Los Angeles Angels 11-3 on Saturday night in front of 35,067 fans. "I got a lot of motivation when I see the field like that," Cespedes said through an interpreter in Spanish. "The stands are full, the same thing when we were in the playoffs. It was sold out and they made me feel like a stronger mind and gave me a lot of motivation." In front of just the fourth sellout crowd of the season in Oakland, Cespedes gave quite a show. The reigning Home Run Derby champion doubled in the fourth, hit a triple in the seventh that scored the go-ahead runs and added a three-run homer in the eighth. He matched a career high with five RBIs to help the two-time defending AL West champions stretch their lead to 3 1/2 games over the Angels in the division. "No doubt about it," As manager Bob Melvin said when asked if Cespedes feeds off the roaring home crowds. "He just becomes a different player." Collin Cowgills three-run homer off Tommy Milone in the fourth accounted for all of the Angels runs. The As tagged Tyler Skaggs (4-3) with four runs and five hits in six-plus innings. Fernando Rodriguez (1-0) tossed one scoreless inning for the win. Milone allowed nine hits in six innings, striking out three and walking one. He laboured most of the way -- including escaping a bases-loaded jam with no outs in the first -- but got a big boost from his strong-armed, green glove-wearing left fielder on nearly identical plays in the second inning. Cespedes charged in and heaved a one-hop strike to catcher Derek Norris to nab Chris Iannetta and Kole Calhoun after line-drive singles. The throws sent fans roaring to their feet each time, and Cespedes received high-fives and head-pats from teammates and coaches in the dugout. "He had a career night. Im lucky that it was today," Milone said. Crew chief Fieldin Culbreth upheld the first call after a 2-minute, 30-second review to see if Norris illegally blocked the plate under the new collision rule. Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Iannetta didnt have a lane to slid and the rule needs to be more clearly defined. There was no review or challenge on the second play to get Calhoun. "Knew it was going to be bang-bang and hes got a great arm," Calhoun said. "I thought I had a good jump. I thought itd be closer than what it was, but that was a great play by him." Cespedes came back big time with the bat. He doubled with one out in the fourth for Oaklands first hit, and Norris drove in a run on a flyout for Oaklands first run. After Kyle Blanks solo homer and Josh Donaldsons RBI groundout tied the score in the seventh, Cespedes drive off reliever Joe Smith landed just over Calhouns glove in right to score the go-ahead runs. Cespedes later lined a three-run shot in Jarrett Grubes major league debut in the eighth. It was Cespedes 10th home run this season. He also had five RBIs at Cleveland on May 18. NOTES: The As honoured the 1974 World Series championship team before the game. Three World Series MVPs -- Gene Tenace (72), Reggie Jackson (73) and Rollie Fingers (74) -- threw out ceremonial first pitches. ... Angels All-Star CF Mike Trout was scratched from the lineup because of upper back stiffness. He was initially the designated hitter. ... As RF Josh Reddick was replaced by pinch-hitter Coco Crisp after hyperextending his knee catching a fly at the wall in the seventh. He is day to day. ... Oakland 1B Brandon Moss was not in the lineup. He will likely sit out again Sunday to give his nagging right calf additional rest. ... The Angels designated LHP Wade LeBlanc for assignment and called up Grube from Triple-A Salt Lake. ... Angels ace Jered Weaver (6-3, 2.99 ERA) starts against Oaklands Sonny Gray (5-1, 2.31) in Sundays series finale. Kansas City Royals Jerseys .J. -- Kevin Gilbride retired Thursday as offensive co-ordinator for the New York Giants. Justin Grimm Jersey .Y. - Urijah Faber walked out on a Madison Square Garden stage in a Wes Welker jersey, the UFCs fun nod to that other "super" show this weekend. http://www.royalsteamproshop.com/Royals-Wily-Peralta-Kids-Jersey/ . He had spent 16 days on the disabled list before being activated Thursday. He was batting just .203 when he came to bat in the 11th inning on Sunday.Mark Johnston put the finishing touches to Guineas contenders Buratino and Lumiere as they worked before racing at Newmarket. Coventry Stakes winner Buratino was busy last season but thrived on his work, while Lumiere won the Cheveley Park Stakes in September.Buratino worked with New Caledonia while the filly went with Deodoro but both have slight stamina doubts.over a mile Johnston said: That was perfect. To be honest, all the work had been done before today and this was just the finishing touches.We just wanted to give them an outing to the track because if we are going to start them off at that level, they need to have been to the track beforehand.It was terrible ground at Haydock (for their gallop last week), it was very very soft but they did a pretty serious gallop and we knew that they didnt need to do an awful lot today.Obviously something like this does not test them over a mile. You might question Buratino on pedigree, but the way he ran in the Middle Park, when he was beaten by an out-and-out sprinter, if hed have gone further hed have taken closer order, which gives us confidence in him getting it. His style of raacing gives us great confidence as well as he switches off and then finds a gear. Lucas Duda Jersey. .Lumiere is bred to get every inch of a mile and is not bred to be a sprinter. Shes always looked like being a miler and if you looked at her and didnt know her form, youd think she was a middle-distance horse. The question with her is her temperament, as she can be keen early on but she was much more settled here today.Whether that will be the case when the stalls open in the Guineas, who knows. Im not a great believer of fighting with them - if she goes fast, she goes fast. At York and in the Cheveley Park, she looked the scopiest of the field. Lumiere will be running in the Guineas off the same weight she did in the Cheveley Park.
