Cahill fans 10, A’s homer thrice in 6th straight W

Trevor Cahill recorded 10 strikeouts in a 6-0 win over the Tigers on Sunday at the Coliseum, as the A’s claimed their sixth straight victory, swept their second straight series and extended baseball’s best record since June 16 (33-10). As it did on Saturday, the A’s offense came in the form of loud bursts. Khris Davis put the A’s ahead with his 31st homer of the season in the fourth inning. Later in the frame, Oakland strung together three straight hits, with Ramon Laureano singling in Matt Olson. Matt Chapman and Olson hit two-run homers in the later frames to give the A’s insurance.
