J.P. Sears gave the Athletics' overworked bullpen a break Friday night, but offense was in short supply in a 4-2 road loss to the Atlanta Braves.
Sears (4-4) pitched a season-high seven innings, giving up four runs on six hits with two walks and five strikeouts.
Atlanta right-hander Reynoldo Lopez shut down the Athletics for six innings before giving way to the bullpen.
Atlanta, 32-23, came in having lost 10 of its previous 15 games and scoring 49 runs in that span.
