OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Kyle Schwarber homered on the first pitch of the game, J.T. Realmuto and Alec Bohm also went deep and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Oakland Athletics 6-1 for their fourth straight victory. Oakland lost its third straight following a season-high, seven-game winning streak. At 19-53, the A’s are just above Kansas City (18-51) for worst record in the major leagues. A day after Nevada enacted $380 million in public financing for a ballpark for A’s, the game drew 16,084 to the Oakland Coliseum, the team’s fifth-largest home crowd this season.
