Seth Brown hit a seventh-inning grand slam Saturday to help assuage two weeks of misery Saturday, igniting a late offensive explosion in a 10-5 road win against the Cleveland Guardians.
The win snapped a 10-game losing streak, improving the A’s record to 21-40. It was their first win since May 29 in Oakland against Texas. Cleveland dropped to 28-27. Frankie Montas (3-6) was credited with his first win since April 18 although he’s had better games. Montas gave up five earned runs in six innings.
The Athletics’ bullpen made the lead stand up, with Domingo Acevedo pitching the seventh, A.J. Puk the eighth and Dany Jimenez the ninth.
