PHOENIX –- The A’s found a way to overcome their many failures with runners on base Sunday.
Just keep hitting.
That M.O. finally paid off with a 7-4 victory in 11 innings over the Arizona Diamondbacks, which helped the A’s break even on their six-game road trip.
They lashed out 18 hits total but needed to work overtime thanks to the 14 base runners they left stranded. Marcus Semien came through with a two-run go-ahead single in the top of the 11th, and Pat Venditte notched his first major league victory with two scoreless innings of relief.
