The home run was Davis' 10th since the All-Star break, tied for the most in baseball. In his last 14 games, Davis has belted 10 homers and driven in 22 runs.

--- Matt Chapman also went yard, ripping a two-run shot to left in the seventh inning for his 15th long ball of the season. Chapman has now reached base safely in a career-high 21 straight games.

--- Matt Olson went opposite field for his 22nd home run of the season, a two-run blast in the eighth inning. It was Olson's first homer since July 22 against the Giants.

--- Rookie Ramon Laureano went 3-for-3 with an RBI and his first career stolen base. In three career games, Laureano is batting .364 (4-for-11) with two RBI.

--- After completing the season sweep of Toronto Wednesday, the A's did the same to Detroit this weekend. Oakland went 7-0 against both teams.
