The A’s have done something they never did all of last season — win four straight games.
A well-placed RBI single by Aledmys Diaz put the A’s up 2-1 in the top of the 10th inning Saturday and Sam Long closed it out against the host Milwaukee Brewers for their fourth straight victory and second straight series win.
The Athletics got six shutout innings from Paul Blackburn, who looked like the guy who pitched a scoreless inning in the All-Star game a year ago before his season went south due to injuries and dealt with middle finger issues most of this season. It wasn’t an impressive swing. Diaz reached to get an outside slider and simply grounded it up the middle to score pinch-runner Tony Kemp.
Blackburn was locked in a pitcher’s duel with veteran right-hander Julio Teheran. The A’s got one run in the fifth against Teheran, with Jace Peterson walking, going to third on a hit-and-run single through the right side by Diaz, and scoring when J.J. Bleday beat out a potential double play grounder for a fielders choice.
