OAKLAND, Calif. — Youth was served Sunday as the Athletics beat the Seattle Mariners 5-3 and take two of three games against their A.L. West tormentors.
With a starting lineup that included four rookie position players and a rookie starting pitcher in JP Sears, the A’s won their second straight game against a wild card contender that had beaten them 10 straight times at the Coliseum after Friday night’s 10-3 blowout loss.
With the win before a sun-drenched crowd of 9,314, the A’s 45-77 with the Mariners falling to 66-56.
