The A’s have been hurt by the long ball in losing five of their last seven games.
OAKLAND — In theory, Athletics pitchers Adrian Martinez and A.J. Puk had hitters right where they wanted them — with an 0-2 count and the opportunity to bust a pitch just above the zone and get a swinging strikeout.
Yastrzemski, who added a two-run shot on a 1-1 pitch against Austin Pruitt in the eighth, hit his 10th and 11th home runs. Estrada’s home run, in the sixth against Puk, was a two-run shot and his 10th of the season. It was the fifth loss in seven games for the Athletics, who were swept in the series by their cross-bay rivals and fell to 41-68 while the Giants improved to 53-55.
