OAKLAND, Calif. - Jason Giambi and Jack Cust broke out of funks with two-run homers, and Dallas Braden (6-7) ended a four-start winless stretch as Oakland trounced Detroit.

Giambi's drive in the sixth off Justin Verlander (8-4) was home run No. 407, tying him with Duke Snider for 43d place on the all-time list.

Giambi, who has been dealing with sore legs, entered the game with a .197 batting average, an American League low.

Cust struck out in the second - in his 80th strikeout of the year - before connecting in the fourth for his team-leading 14th homer.
