Oakland, which has MLB’s worst record, has won its last three games by a combined score of 25-9.
MILWAUKEE — Ramón Laureano hit a two-run triple, Jonah Bride also drove in a pair of runs and the Oakland Athletics beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-2 on Friday night for their first three-game winning streak of the season.
All three of those wins have come away from home. The A’s — planning to move to Las Vegas — had lost 15 straight road games before this streak. Oakland’s early outburst started when Esteury Ruiz singled, took off for second for his major league-leading 30th steal and advanced to third on catcher William Contreras’ errant throw. Noda’s walk put runners on the corners.
“If he’s out at home, it can change the momentum of the inning and the game,” Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said. “Noda’s a really, really athletic young kid. It showed right there.”
