OAKLAND — Like all good things, the A’s winning streak had to come to an end at some point.
Entering the day winners of six in a row, the A’s were unable to complete a second consecutive sweep as the Indians poured it on in Sunday’s 13-3 loss in front of 16,164 fans at the Coliseum for Root Beer Float Day.
Things can escalate quickly when you’re up against a potent lineup like the Indians possess.
Jed Lowrie represented the tying run as he came up to the plate with two outs in the seventh inning after Mark Canha grounded into a force out to bring home a run and put the A’s within two runs at 5-3.
