Oakland, CA - Jerome Williams worked seven scoreless innings and Freddy Galvis hit a two-run homer, as Philadelphia shut down Oakland, 3-0, in the middle test of a three-game series.

Chase Utley and Cody Asche each doubled and scored for the Phillies, who dropped a 3-1 decision in Friday's opener.

Williams (4-2) allowed four hits and one walk while fanning three over his 93- pitch effort. Antonio Bastardo and Ken Giles worked an inning apiece to finish off the four-hit shutout.

Dan Otero (8-2) served up the go-ahead blast for the Athletics, who have lost four of their last five. Drew Pomeranz was lifted after five full frames despite giving up just one hit and a pair of walks with six strikeouts.
