Frank Thomas homered in his sixth straight game Monday night, setting an Athletics record.

Thomas hit the first pitch he saw in the fourth inning from Minnesota starter Carlos Silva just over the wall and beyond center fielder Torii Hunter's reach, giving Oakland a 1-0 lead. It was the 36th homer and 98th RBIs of the season for Thomas, making a strong comeback after ankle injuries hampered the final two of his 16 seasons with the White Sox.
