OAKLAND — A return home failed to alleviate what ails the Athletics Friday night in a 7-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers at the Coliseum.
Jim Adduci hit a bases loaded triple in the top of the sixth inning before a crowd of 17,519 to break it open against Athletics starter Andrew Triggs, who up until that inning had given up only a pair of unearned runs.
The Athletics, coming off a 2-7 home stand and 2-9 in their last 11 games, managed a single unearned run in the sixth inning on an RBI single by Yonder Alonso.
