Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Josh Willingham had a two-run single to help back eight strong innings from Trevor Cahill, as the Oakland Athletics earned a 5-1 win over the Detroit Tigers in the finale of a four-game set. Conor Jackson, Hideki Matsui and Cliff Pennington also knocked in a run apiece for Oakland, which earned a split in the series and has won three of its last five overall. Mark Ellis had a pair of doubles and scored a run in the victory. Cahill (2-0) was stellar in his outing, allowing one run on four hits and striking out nine without issuing a walk. Great job by Trevor today, Oakland manager Bob Geren said. He definitely answered the challenge, going eight innings and throwing 112 pitches. Casper Wells accounted for the only offense with a homer for the Tigers, who have dropped two in a row after winning the previous four. Brad Penny (0-2) suffered the loss after yielding five runs on four hits, with four walks in five-plus innings of work. The veteran right-hander struck out five. Oakland manufactured a run in the fourth to open the scoring. Daric Barton drew a leadoff walk and went to third on a single by Jackson. After Willingham struck out, Matsuis groundout plated Barton. The Athletics then tacked on three more in the fifth. Landon Powell led off with a double and the next two batters were retired before David DeJesus was hit by a pitch and Barton walked. A free pass to Jackson forced in a run and Willingham followed with a two-run single through the left side for a 4-0 game. Wells homer leading off the sixth got the Tigers on the board, but Oakland got the run back in the home half on Penningtons sacrifice fly. Cahill stranded a runner in the seventh, worked around a leadoff single in the eighth and was lifted after throwing 112 pitches -- 80 for strikes -- in favor of Tyson Ross in the ninth. The young right-hander gave up a leadoff single to Austin Jackson before settling down to strikeout Brennan Boesch and Miguel Cabrera. Ryan Raburn then flied out to left to end the game. We should have found a way to get a win these last couple of days, Tigers catcher Alex Avila said.
