Lowrie amps up ASG case with 3 RBIs in win

Following a brief hiatus from the win column, the A’s were back at it Tuesday, pouncing for five runs in the sixth inning to claim a 6-2 win over the Padres at the Coliseum. All-Star candidate Jed Lowrie led the attack against lefty Clayton Richard with a go-ahead, bases-clearing double, giving him 59 RBIs — tied for third-most in the American League. Khris Davis chipped in with an RBI single, and Mark Canha capped the game-changing frame with his 11th homer of the season, a solo shot to left. Chad Pinder also homered in the Interleague affair, helping the A’s secure their 13th win in their last 16 games.
