TUE MAY 13 BOS_____3___12___0 OAK_____5____8___0 The A's & Red Sox game on the 14th was rained out.

We acquired veteran pitcher Sonny Siebert in exchange for IF Ted Kubiak. Siebert will either start or work in long relief. In San Diego's bullpen, he was 1-0 with an 8.22 ERA. Utility infielder Kubiak was batting .235 with no homers and 2 RBI. The A's also optioned pitcher Mike Norris to AAA. Norris had not seen action since his start against Texas on April 21. He allowed 8 earned runs in 3 2/3 innings. The A's also recalled IF Gaylen Pitts.
