A;'s Swept By Marlins

     The Miami Marlins completed a three-game sweep of the Oakland A's 7-5 at loanDepot park on Sunday. The Marlins outscored the A's 23-6 in the three-game set. 

     It may be the final time ever that the A's play in Miami based in Oakland. The Marlins host the Kansas City Royals over the next three days.

     Miami(32-28) moved out to a 1-0 lead in the second inning. Yuli Gurriel doubled to the left-field wall and Garrett Cooper scored. 

     Oakland(12-49) piled on five runs in the top of the third to take a 5-1. Nick Allen pulled off a safety squeeze bunt and Jace Peterson crossed the plate. Esteury Ruiz came up next and singled through the left side for Shea Langeliers to score. 

     Late in the frame, Ramon Laureano knocked in Allen and Ruiz on a double off the left-center field wall. Laureano then stole third and scored on a throwing error by Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara. 

     After the Fish got one run in the fourth, the Marlins tied it 5-5 in the bottom of the fifth. Cooper blasted a three-run homer down the left-field line on a 1-2 pitch for his sixth home run of the season. Luis Arraez and Bryan De La Cruz scored in front of him on the play. 

     It became 7-5 for Miami in the bottom of the eighth. Arraez drove in Joey Wendle on an infield base hit. Nick Fortes later reached home on a passed ball when De La Cruz struck out.
