DETROIT -- Marcus Semien scored three times -- twice on Jed Lowrie RBIs -- and Matt Olson added his fourth homer in as many games, sending the Athletics to an 8-3 win over the Tigers on Monday at Comerica Park.
Lowrie doubled in Semien in the first inning, then hit a sacrifice fly to plate the shortstop again in the third as part of a four-run inning off Tigers starter Buck Farmer, punctuated by Olson's two-run homer. A bases-loaded walk from Artie Lewicki to Lowrie in the third scored Bruce Maxwell to help put the game away.
