CLEVELAND --
Profar’s first month with the A’s went about as badly as it could. He batted .165 and led all Major League second basemen with seven errors. But over the month of May, Profar has turned it on, hitting .274 with five of his seven homers in 17 May games. His homer on Tuesday night was his second in as many days, continuing his tear on Oakland’s nine-game road trip, hitting .333 with three home runs and seven RBIs through the first eight games.\n\n• [Box score](https://www.mlb.com/gameday/565339/final/box)\n\n“He is playing great and made some great plays,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said. “He’s starting to get really comfortable, and you can see why the organization wanted to go out and get him. He’s been instrumental on a lot of these wins here recently.”
The resurgence at the plate for Profar could be coming at the right time as slugger Khris Davis may be out for an extended period of time after his nagging left hip issue [forced him to leave the game](https://www.mlb.com/athletics/news/khris-davis-exits-a-s-game-in-third) in the third inning on Tuesday.

“This whole team won the game for me today,” Bassitt said. “You go 3 2/3 innings, walk six and give up two home runs, the odds are really high that you’ll take an 'L.' To escape with a no-decision was unbelievable.”\n\n**Piscotty keeps the streak alive**\n\n
