This recent losing streak is different than others the A’s have experienced this season, with close losses replacing blowouts that have given Oakland the biggest negative run differential in baseball.After their seventh-straight win Tuesday night, the A’s fell twice to the Tampa Bay Rays, who have the best record in baseball, and dropped nail-biters both Saturday and Sunday against Philadelphia (38-34), the defending National League champions.The A’s trailed from beginning to end as Kyle Schwarber led off the game with an opposite field home run against starter Hogan Harris (2-1). It was Schwarber’s 20th home run of the season.P...
