The Athletics hadn’t won a game since April 29. That ended with help from Seth Brown in Cleveland.
Seth Brown hit a seventh-inning grand slam Saturday to help assuage two weeks of misery Saturday, igniting a late offensive explosion in a 10-5 road win against the Cleveland Guardians.
The win snapped a 10-game losing streak, improving the A’s record to 21-40. It was their first win since May 29 in Oakland against Texas. Cleveland dropped to 28-27. Frankie Montas was credited with his first win since April 18 although he’s had better games. Montas gave up five earned runs in six innings.
The Athletics’ bullpen made the lead stand up, with Domingo Acevedo pitching the seventh, A.J. Puk the eighth and Dany Jimenez the ninth. The home run was Brown’s seventh of the season, and the A’s weren’t done as Stephen Vogt hit his second home run in the eighth and Christian Bethancourt and Sean Murphy homered in the ninth. It was Bethancourt’s third home run and Murphy’s seventh.The A’s had already scored once in the inning, courtesy of a throwing error by first baseman Andy Naylor attempting to get a lead runner at second base.
Instead, Brown jumped all over a full-count fastball and drove it into the right-field stands. Brown was 0-for-10 in his career with the bases loaded before the breakthrough.
