A’s come up short in a 7-5 loss to the Marlins

The Oakland Athletics dropped their fourth-straight game Sunday as the Miami Marlins scored six unanswered runs to pull out a 7-5 win.

Paul Blackburn retired the first three hitters he faced, but found trouble in the second. Garrett Cooper and Yuli Gurriel led off the inning with back-to-back doubles to give Miami an early 1-0 lead.

Sandy Alcantara made quick work of the first six hitters he faced before Jace Peterson singled to begin the third inning. Peterson stole second and then moved over to third on an infield single by Shea Langeliers.
