Ben Zobrist came through Tuesday with the kind of game-changing hit that’s been missing for the A’s most of this season.
The bullpen held down a lead after Oakland surged ahead in the late innings, ensuring the Detroit Tigers wouldn’t get their hopes up.
Starting pitcher Kendall Graveman wobbled during a three-run fourth but steadied himself, survived six innings and walked away with the victory.
All of the above components played a role in the A’s 5-3 come-from-behind victory at Comerica Park.
