Detroit: Jed Lowrie hit an RBI double in the fourth inning and Chris Bassitt pitched six innings, helping the Oakland Athletics beat the Detroit Tigers 3-0 Wednesday night. The A’s leaned on pitching and defence to win for the ninth time in 11 games and move five games over .500 for the first time this year. They did not clear the fences, ending their major league record streak of hitting a homer in 27 road games. Lowrie did his part at the plate again with a game-winning RBI for the third straight game. He drove in a tie-breaking run in the top of the ninth inning the previous two wins against the Tigers.
