Rather than getting giddy, Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin says his team has become “greedy.”
Oakland’s 13-game winning streak ended Sunday as Austin Hays hit a pair of home runs, starter John Means had another stellar performance and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Athletics 8-1.
The A’s, who opened the season with six straight losses, put together their third-longest winning string since moving to Oakland in 1968.
“You do want to win the series but you also want to get greedy,” Melvin said. “We’ve been greedy here recently. It’s about winning every game that you go out there and play.
