For the first time this season, the Oakland A’s played a game against a team other than the Astros or Dodgers. And for the third straight game, they set a season-high in scoring.
The A’s won their road series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks, by a comfortable 9-5 margin. After totaling just 19 runs in their first eight games of the year, Oakland has now scored six, seven, and nine over their most recent contests.
From start to finish, the A’s kept the pressure on, finding the plate in five different innings including the 1st and 9th.
