The A’s didn’t waste any time getting on the board against Justin Verlander. Zack Gelof doubled off the glove of Kyle Tucker deep in right center. Ryan Noda followed with a rocket single off the wall in right that scored Gelof to make it 1-0. After Seth Brown struck out for the second out, Shea Langeliers sent one onto the train tracks in left field for a two-run shot to push the advantage to 3-0.
