The Oakland Athletics watched an early lead slip away Friday night in an 8-2 loss to the Washington Nationals.
The A’s jumped out to an early lead against Joan Adon in the first. JJ Bleday singled with one out and then moved to second on a walk by Zack Gelof. Seth Brown struck out for the second out, but both runners moved up 90 feet on a wild pitch. Jordan Diaz then came through with a single to left that scored both to give the A’s a 2-0 lead.
