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.
Following a 9-7 victory on Saturday, the A’s won consecutive games for the first time since May 24-25, when they won twice in Seattle, snapping a stretch that lasted 32 days. “It had been a while since we had a series win,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said. “We’re definitely going to enjoy this one and head off to New York.”
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.
