After Contreras' eighth home run this season, he put on a cheesehead in the dugout celebration. JJ Bleday hit a run-scoring forceout in the fifth and pinch-hitter William Contreras tied the score in the eighth with a home run off Richard Lovelady. Shintaro Fujinami (3-6) pitched around a walk in the ninth, and Sam Long got three straight outs in the 10th for his first save this season and the second in his big league career. We've continued to work and it's nice to see these results happening for this group." "If you've been watching this club from April, it wasn't great at all. "This has been a great stretch," Oakland manager Mark Kotsay said. The A's had not won four straight since ending last season with a victory at Seattle followed by a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels. Paul Blackburn and four relievers combined on a six-hitter for Oakland, which has a major league-high 6.40 ERA. Even with the winning streak, the A's (16-50) are on pace to finish 39-123, the most losses since the 1899 Cleveland Spiders went 20-134.
