Cardinals can’t solve Colon, A’s

June 29, 2013 By Missourinet Contributor

Seth Smith’s two-run single was the big blow in Oakland’s five-run second inning Friday, an outburst that led to the Athletics’ 6-1 win over St. Louis.

The Cardinals lost for the fifth time in six games and slipped out of a first-place tie with Pittsburgh in the National League Central.

Oakland sent 10 men to the plate in the second, battering Shelby Miller (8-6) en route to a third straight win.

Josh Donaldson singled home the first run of the inning and then scored on a double by Josh Reddick. After Eric Sogard and Coco Crisp drew walks to load the bases, Smith delivered his clutch single to center that gave the A’s a 4-0 lead.

Jed Lowrie drove Miller from the game with a double that brought home Crisp.

Bartolo Colon (11-2) worked eight innings to get the win, allowing a run on six hits. Colon has won his last eight starts, having suffered his two losses this season in consecutive appearances on May 4 and May 9.
