 After right fielder Giancarlo Stanton appeared to throw out Coco
Crisp at the plate to keep the contest tied at 5-5 in the ninth, the
umpires reviewed the play and overturned their initial call. Stephen
Vogt and Josh Reddick added RBI singles against Steve Cishek (4-3),
allowing Luke Gregerson (2-1) to pick up the win after tossing a
scoreless eighth.
Josh Donaldson ripped an RBI triple to highlight his three-RBI
performance as the Athletics handed the Marlins their 11th loss in
16 outings. Reddick had a run-scoring triple among his three hits to
forge a 5-5 tie in the eighth while Cespedes extended his hitting
streak to 11 games and scored three times.
Garrett Jones and Marcell Ozuna had back-to-back RBI singles while
Donovan Solano followed with a run-scoring double to highlight a
five-run sixth. Casey McGehee, Stanton and Jones each had two hits
and scored a run.
After mustering just two hits over the first five innings, Miami
erupted with four straight singles to chase starter Jesse Chavez and
trim Oakland's lead to 4-2. Solano greeted Dan Otero with an RBI
double, Ozuna scored on a groundout and Jeff Baker gave the Marlins
a 5-4 lead with a pinch-hit single to center.

fourth by Vogt.
