For three days, the A’s got strong starting pitching against the AL Central-leading Indians, and they swept the defending league champs. Monday, rookie Daniel Gossett was mostly solid against Tampa Bay but he gave up two homers and Oakland’s offense consisted of just one home run in a 3-2 loss to the Rays, ending a five-game home winning streak. Jake Odorizzi scored his first-ever win in five career starts against Oakland; he’s allowed only two earned runs in 21 career innings at the Coliseum. Alonso went to third on a groundout and scored on a wild pitch by Alex Colome. Smith advanced to third on the single and scored on Longoria’s fielder’s choice grounder. Blake Treinen, acquired Sunday in the deal that sent relievers Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson to the Nationals, pitched in what probably would have been Doolittle’s spot Monday, throwing a scoreless eighth in which he allowed a walk. Maxwell took a foul tip off the mask in the second inning and went down hard, but after being checked by trainers and taking some warm-up tosses, he remained in.
