Oakland snaps its three-game losing streak by again beating Ohtani who has yet to beat the Athletics
AP Sports Writer
Ohtani yielded seven hits and two earned runs while pitching into the sixth inning of his third straight defeat, again falling short of his career-best 10th mound victory. The two-way AL MVP struck out seven A’s, which ended his streak of six consecutive starts with double-digit strikeouts just short of Nolan Ryan’s franchise-record seven.
Murphy had an RBI single in the fourth before driving a two-run homer to left in the sixth for Oakland. The catcher was 0 for 5 in his career against Ohtani before those consecutive run-scoring hits. Ohtani started out with three innings of one-hit ball, but Oakland scored an unearned run in the fourth when Ramon Laureano reached on Rengifo’s throwing error, advanced on a wild pitch and scored on Murphy’s single.
