Nick Allen homers twice as A’s beat Giants, 8-6

Nick Allen had the first multi-homer game of his career to help the Oakland Athletics to an 8-6 win over the San Francisco Giants.

Things got off to a rough start for Luis Medina as LaMonte Wade singled to start the game. Medina struck out Thairo Estrada and then got Wilmer Flores to line out, but then walked Joe Peterson. J.D. Davis made him pay with a single to right that scored Wade to give the Giants an early 1-0 lead.

The A’s answered back in the home half of the inning as Zack Gelof doubled with two outs and then scored on a triple by Seth Brown.
