OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Just 6,423 fans showed up Friday for the Athletics’ first home game since announcing a deal for land to build a ballpark in Las Vegas, many chanting “Sell the team!” and “Stay in Oakland!” during an 11-7 loss to the Reds.
Nick Senzel had three RBIs and Jake Fraley hit a two-run homer for the Reds, who have won four in a row for the first time since last July 30 to Aug. 2.
Luis Cessa (1-3) gave up three runs and eight hits in five-plus innings, winning for the first time in five starts this year.
