Oakland’s lone run came on Sean Murphy’s homer in the eighth.

Fiers (6-3) gave up two runs and five hits in five innings. The right-hander struck out three and walked one. Fiers exposed the Astros’ sign stealing scandal in 2017, when the Dodgers lost the World Series to Houston.

Athletics: RHP J.B. Wendelken went on the IL, although the team didn’t say why. RHP James Kaprielian was recalled from the alternate site for the fourth time this season.

TAKING IT OUT ON THE CUTOUTS

Pollock got rid of two foul balls by firing them into the lower left field seats, with the cardboard cutouts serving as a shooting gallery of sorts.

Pollock turned around and blasted them into the seats. If it had been a carnival, he could have earned a stuffed animal with two more potshots.

Teammate Mookie Betts got a foul ball later in the fourth inning and threw it into the visiting bullpen behind him in right.

Athletics: RHP Chris Bassitt (5-2, 2.57 ERA) starts Friday against Seattle in the opener of a four-game set. He hasn’t allowed a run in two of his last three starts and is 3-0 with a 0.46 ERA over that span.

Dodgers: LHP Clayton Kershaw (6-2, 2.25) starts Friday’s opener at home against the Angels. He is 7-2 in 12 career starts against the Halos with a 2.45 ERA.
