OAKLAND — Frankie Montas on Wednesday became the first A’s starter this season to pitch five complete innings and Jesús Luzardo touched 98 mph with his fastball in an up-and-down outing at the Coliseum.
But Matt Chapman’s solo home run in the first inning was all of th. . .
Melvin made some tweaks to his starting lineup for Wednesday’s game, as Ramon Laureano replaced Khris Davis as the A’s designated hitter. Davis went hitless again Tuesday and is 0-for-15 so far this the season with seven strikeouts.
