The Athletics head to New York to face the Yankees on a roll — sort of.
Nick Allen hit a two-run bloop single in the seventh inning Sunday to enable the Athletics to do something they hadn’t accomplished in over a month.
It was the first time the Athletics won consecutive games since May 25, when they won twice in Seattle. That also happens to be their last series win. Their record during the month of June is 5-17 heading into a three-game series in New York against the Yankees. The A’s had lost eight consecutive series.
Seth Brown homered for the Athletics , a solo shot in the fourth inning. It was his 10th of the season. Domingo Acevedo the second of four relievers after starter James Kaprielian, was the winning pitcher. Lou Trivino, coming off a two-inning save Saturday, pitched the ninth for his fourth save, stranding runners at second and third. All five A’s runs were scored with two outs.
