Guest Athletics Win, 5-3, at Cleveland
A 3-RBI performance from designated hitter Zack Gelof, who is tied for 7th in the AL in runs scored with 14, led the Oakland Athletics to a win over the Cleveland Guardians, 5-3. Kirby Snead earned the win after being called from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. He upped his record to 1-0. Zach Jackson locked down his 5th save.

Gelof contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Oakland in the top of the fifth. With his team trailing 2-1, Gelof took a fastball from James Karinchak and stroked the home run to left. His 3rd home run of the season allowed the Athletics to leap in front, 3-2.

"You come to the ballpark to do your job and that's what I did today," Gelof told the Oakland Gazette.

Cleveland falls to 9-12.
