Ramon Laureano’s three-run homer in the second inning produced the only three runs for the A’s, but the early lead for Mike Fiers did not hold up.
Seattle led the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0 entering the ninth inning but gave up five runs in the ninth to lose 5-2. The Cardinals rally late in the game ruined a great outing by Seattle’s Mike Leake who struck out seven and at one point retired 11 consecutive hitters.
