Rays lose 2nd straight at Oakland
OAKLAND, CALIF. — Seth Brown may sit again Sunday against a left-handed starter and await his chance to help off the bench if regular right fielder Stephen Piscotty returns to Oakland’s lineup.
He hit a two-run homer in the first inning a day after delivering a walkoff drive, sending the Athletics past the Tampa Bay Rays again with a 6-3 win Saturday.
“Been unbelievable, the last two days. If we don’t have him, probably a good chance we don’t win the game,” Melvin said.
Brown added an RBI single in the seventh for key insurance before the Rays got one back in the eighth on Mike Zunino’s RBI single against Jake Diekman.
