Cotton gets 1st MLB win, Alonso has 3 hits in A's win

It was a welcome sign for an A's lineup that entered Wednesday's rubber game struggling with consistency. But the group found its rhythm at the plate and scored two runs as part of a three-hit fourth inning. Yonder Alonso added one more after singling with the bases loaded in the fifth before Ryon Healy highlighted the performance with a solo home run in the seventh, helping Oakland win a series over an American League West foe for the first time since late July.
