Related Topics: Daniel Mengden

Oakland has won seven of its last nine games.

The Phillies never threatened as they snapped their three-game winning streak. J.P. Crawford singled in the third and the sixth. Aaron Altherr flew out to the warning track in left field in the seventh. Rhys Hoskins, who had homered six times in the previous six games, went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Olson crushes one: Phillies right-hander Mark Leiter walked Jed Lowrie with two outs in the first inning, then Matt Olson hit a 2-2 fastball into the second deck in right field for a two-run homer, handing the A's a 2-0 lead.
