The Oakland Athletics are scoring runs every which way again and they're back to playing their winning brand of baseball. Stephen Piscotty and Matt Olson homered to back Sean Manaea's first victory of the season, and the A's won their fifth straight game by beating the Detroit Tigers 8-4 on Thursday night. "Those are some really good pitching staffs we’re facing early in the year when you’re trying to kind of get your bearings. I think our lineup’s really good and we’re capable of doing that and now we get the ball rolling and I think good things can happen." Hinch's return following the sign-stealing scheme that got him fired by the Astros before the shortened 2020 season.
