Homers by Seth Brown and Brent Rooker lead the A's to victory over the Brewers and extend Oakland's win streak to five.
After giving up two runs to Milwaukee to start the game, Oakland starter JP Sears said it was"awesome" to see Brown and the rest of the team continue to fight despite the early deficit.
"I knew that guys were going to battle back and I just wanted to hang in there, get through five or six for them," Sears said to reporters after the win."Like I said, a lot of good at-bats today and Carlos called a great game, he also hit the ball hard a lot. "So I think guys are just starting to click, trying to build confidence and feeling comfortable out there, feeling comfortable at the plate, guys are slowly starting to get their roles, knowing what to expect going into each game."
A Kevin Smith homer in the seventh, then an Esteury Ruiz double and a Ryan Noda single in the ninth extended Oakland's lead to 8-3. Though Milwaukee tacked on three more runs in the bottom of the ninth, that would be all. Ultimately, Sears got his first win of the season, giving up six hits and two runs while striking out five in his five innings of work.
