The A’s didn’t waste any time getting the lead, as leadoff hitter Coco Crisp hit a home run off Justin Verlander to give Oakland the early 1-0 lead. Verlander had a 1-2 count on Crisp before he gave up the blast to deep right field on a 95 mph fastball. It’s the fourth leadoff home run of the season for Crisp.
