CINCINNATI—Max Schuemann and Lawrence Butler each hit a two-run home run in the seventh inning to propel the Oakland Athletics past the Cincinnati Reds 5–4 on Tuesday night.

Zack Gelof added a solo shot in the eighth and All-Star closer Mason Miller hung on after giving up two runs and four hits in a shaky ninth. With runners at second and third, he struck out pinch-hitter Amed Rosario for his 22nd save.
