A’s, Blackburn hand Tampa Bay its first loss of season

A’s hit four home runs in their lopsided win, including Sheldon Neuse’s grand slam off Rays’ Brett Phillips.

TAMPA, Fla. — Paul Blackburn allowed three hits in five scoreless innings, Seth Brown and Elvis Andrus both hit three-run homers, and the Oakland Athletics handed the Tampa Bay Rays their first loss of the season, 13-2 on Monday night.

“Paul did a great job keeping these guys off balance. Used his changeup very effectively.
