WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Shea Langeliers<\/a> hit his 20th home run and the Athletics<\/a> defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> 7-1 on Wednesday night to stop a four-game losing streak, their longest this season. <\/p>\n

Jonah Heim<\/a> and Alika Williams<\/a> also homered for the A\u2019s. J.T. Ginn<\/a> (7-4) allowed one run and three hits in six innings to win for the fourth time in his last five starts. Ginn walked five and struck out four.<\/p>\n

Freddie Freeman<\/a> homered for the major league-leading Dodgers (56-31), extending his on-base steak to 16 games. <\/p>\n

Los Angeles finished a 7-2 trip, one night after manager Dave Roberts became the fastest manager to reach 1,000 career wins.<\/p>\n

After lopsided losses in the first two games of the series, the A\u2019s took an early lead on Heim\u2019s leadoff homer in the second.<\/p>\n

Freeman tied it with his 14th home run in the third before the A\u2019s scored twice in the fourth and added three more in the fifth.<\/p>\n

Heim walked and scored on Lawrence Butler<\/a>\u2019s groundout in the fourth. Henry Bolte<\/a> followed with an RBI single.<\/p>\n

Langeliers started the rally in the fifth with his home run off Charlie Barnes<\/a> (0-1). Nick Kurtz<\/a> followed with a single and scored on Colby Thomas<\/a>\u2019 double. Heim added an RBI single to make it 6-1.<\/p>\n

Williams homered in the eighth off Barnes, who threw 94 pitches in relief. He gave up seven runs and 12 hits over seven innings after opener Jack Dreyer<\/a> struck out all three batters in the first.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Dodgers: RHP Roki Sasaki<\/a> (3-5, 4.88 ERA) pitches against the San Diego Padres<\/a> in Los Angeles on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Athletics<\/a>: RHP Jack Perkins<\/a> (2-3, 6.00) faces the Miami Marlins<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n
