SST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — It took more than six hours on the field Saturday, but the A’s finally earned at win at Tropicana Field.
After absorbing a drubbing Friday night, the A’s dropped the first game of a scheduled doubleheader 6-5 in 10 innings then bounced back with hits both big and small in a 7-2 victory in Game 2.
Josh Phegley and Ryon Healy hit solo blasts, Chad Pinder a two-run shot and Jaycob Brugman added a bunt single in the sixth that rolled toward first and stopped right on the line as Yonder Alonso raced in to score, giving Brugman his first major-league RBI.
