Newswire From a news agency Outcome reported
  • The Athletics scored five runs in the third inning, hitting four home runs before Zack Gelof’s later triple broke a tie in a 7-6 win over Seattle.
  • Max Muncy, Alika Williams and Jeff McNeil also homered, making Oakland the second major-league team this season to hit four home runs in one inning.
  • Reliever Brady Basso worked three scoreless innings for his first major-league win, while Hogan Harris recorded his 15th save.

The Athletics turned one explosive inning into a 7-6 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Friday. They hit four home runs in the third inning, then relied on Zack Gelof to break the tie later with a triple.

Gelof was one of the four Athletics players to homer during the five-run inning. Max Muncy, Alika Williams and Jeff McNeil also cleared the fences, making the A’s only the second major-league team this season to hit four home runs in one inning. Cincinnati accomplished the feat against Philadelphia on July 8.

Muncy finished with three hits as the Athletics won three straight games for the first time since early June. Brady Basso relieved starter Kade Morris with two outs in Seattle’s three-run third inning and held the Mariners scoreless for three innings to earn his first major-league victory. Hogan Harris worked the ninth for his 15th save.

Seattle starter Logan Gilbert allowed all seven Athletics runs despite striking out 10 batters. He lasted only 4 2/3 innings, but reached 1,000 innings pitched for Seattle.
