OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Skye Bolt hit a leadoff sacrifice fly — as strange as that sounds — in the 10th inning and the Oakland Athletics beat the Miami Marlins 3-2 Wednesday to avert a three-game sweep. With David MacKinnon on second base as the automatic runner and the score tied at 2, Marlins left-hander Richard Bleier (2-2) flung a wild pitch. Until the 10th, the afternoon belonged to left-handers Jesus Luzardo of Miami and Cole Irvin of Oakland. MOVING UPDon Mattingly managed his 1,801st game in the majors, including 992 with the Marlins. Oakland will start RHP James Kaprielian (3-7); the Yankees had yet to name a probable starter.
