J.J. Bleday celebrates the first of two home runs Tuesday night for the Athletics against the Pittsburgh Pirates at the Coliseum.OAKLAND — JJ Bleday hit a pair of home runs and the Athletics bullpen did what it’s done all season Tuesday night in a 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Mitch Spence, who pitched three scoreless innings after starter Alex Wood struggled through the first four, was the winning pitcher to improve to 3-1 as the Athletics won their third straight game to improve to 14-17. The A’s took a 3-2 lead in the fifth against Pittsburgh starter Mitch Keller on a one-out home run to right by Bleday, a drive to right that traveled 399 feet and left the bat at 106.5 miles per hour. Keller finished the fifth before giving way to Luis Ortiz.
Considering he gave up four walks and four hits in four innings and threw 93 pitches, Wood did well to give up just the two runs.A’s allow three homers, are stymied by ex-teammate in loss to Baltimore
