Athletics' third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff left Oakland's game against the Los Angeles Angels with an apparent lower back injury in the bottom of the fifth inning Sunday.

Kouzmanoff singled sharply and grabbed his lower back as he began running toward first base. He slowed down but was able to reach first safely before Gabe Gross came in as a pinch runner.

Kouzmanoff was hitting .283 over his last 12 games, with 12 RBIs. He leads the team with 14 home runs.
