Lowrie, Lucroy have 3 hits apiece in A’s comeback

Major League hits leader Jed Lowrie slapped a two-out single to right to drive in Jonathan Lucroy with the tie-breaking run in the sixth inning to bail out reliever Yusmeiro Petit, and the Athletics held on to beat the Orioles, 6-4, on Friday night at the Coliseum. Khris Davis and Matt Olson hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning and Lucroy added two doubles and a single in his 1,000th career game. Starter Daniel Mengden allowed one run on three hits and struck out five.
