Jed Lowrie’s grand slam lifts A’s past Tigers

DETROIT — Jed Lowrie was ready for Alex Wilson.

“I’ve faced Alex before, and I know he’s got a good cutter,” Lowrie said.

Lowrie hit a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning, and the A’s overcame a four-run deficit to beat the Tigers 9-8 on Tuesday night.

“I was able to get on top of it,” Lowrie said. “We ground out a lot of at-bats to get back in it, and it ends up as a fun night of baseball.”

Lowrie went 3-for-5, including an RBI double in the third. That was his 47th double of the season, tying the Oakland record set by Jason Giambi in 2001.
