A’s make it six straight with win over Indians

OAKLAND — The streaking A’s made it six straight wins and 12 of 14 Saturday with a 7-2 win over the Cleveland Indians at the Coliseum.

Edwin Jackson, the well-traveled 34-year-old right-hander making his second start, gave up a pair of solo home runs and nothing else through 6 2/3 innings to record his first win. He got relief help from Ryan Buchter, Emilio Pagan, Santiago Casilla,and finally Lou Trivino, who got the last two outs before a crowd of 17,748.

The A’s trailed 2-0 but scored three times in the sixth on a two-run home run from Josh Phegley (his second) and a run-scoring double from Mark Canha to take the lead.
