Oakland A’s losing streak reaches seven games despite solid performances by young players
OAKLAND – Oakland’s top starter JP Sears went six and 1/3rd innings, the top prospects Tyler Soderstrom and Zack Gelof both had hits and designated hitter Jordan Diaz mashed a home run and had two RBIs.
But after Sears began to falter, manager Mark Kotsay asked San Jose native Lucas Erceg to preserve a one-run lead.Kirilloff cleared the bases with a three-RBI double to give Minnesota a 5-3 lead, and the Twins’ bullpen took care of business afterward to stay atop the AL Central with a 48-46 record. The 9,335 who ventured out to the Coliseum were narrowly denied enjoying back-to-back Diaz jacks when Aledmys Diaz’ shot into left came up a few feet short of clearing the fence.
The Diaz’s struck again in the bottom of the fourth, when the pair drove in one RBI apiece to extend Oakland’s lead to 3-0 as Ryan went 5 and 1/3rd innings and struck out seven.
