OAKLAND — First came the rain, followed by the thunder. Flexing their offensive muscle for the first time this season, the Athletics exploded for 10 runs in the third inning in a 20-4 win over the Miami Marlins Saturday at the Coliseum following a rain delay of nearly three and a half hours. Their sixth consecutive win evened the A’s record at 17-17, nine games better than the 8-26 record they held after 34 games a year ago. Brent Rooker had two home runs — his seventh and eighth of the season — and five RBIs in the third inning as the A’s sent 14 men to the plate in the inning. JJ Bleday added a three-run shot, his fourth, as a paid crowd of 7,809 enjoyed the show. Brett Harris, called up from Triple-A Friday, had his first career hit with a solo shot to lead off the fourth inning and then added a two-run homer against Darren McCaughan in the sixth. A bit of history here — Rooker is the first A’s player since Mark McGwire in 1996 to hit two home runs

MEXICO CITY — Three bodies recovered in an area of Baja California are likely to be those of the two Australians and an American who went missing last weekend during a camping and surfing trip, the state prosecutor’s office said Saturday. While there has not yet been confirmation based on forensic examination, physical characteristics – including hair – means there is a high likelihood that the bodies are those of the three tourists, local TV network Milenio reported, citing chief state prosecutor María Elena Andrade Ramírez. “It is presumed that (the bodies) are the ones being investigated,” an employee of the state prosecutors’ office who was not authorized to be quoted by name told The Associated Press. “A fourth body was located. It is not related to the three foreigners. The fourth body had been there for a long time,” the official added. Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson (right) are missing in Mexico

PHILADELPHIA — It’s debatable what was more relentless Saturday evening at Citizens Bank Park: the rain, or the Phillies’ offense. Neither let up for most of the night, and the ominous weather that delayed first pitch by 70 minutes proved to have some prescient qualities to it. Adding injury to insult, the Giants lost their second catcher in as many days, their starting pitcher failed to make it out of the first inning, and nobody was smiling about enduring a 14-3 loss in a constant downpour. It ended with a position player, Tyler Fitzgerald, playing out the string on the pitcher’s mound. “It definitely didn’t make it any easier,” Giants starter Keaton Winn said of the conditions after recording only two outs while being tagged for five runs on four hits, two walks and a hit batsman, adding nearly a point and a half to his ERA, to 4.41 from 3.18. You could say Winn had the worst night of anyone, struggling to grip the baseball, find the strike zone or fool Phillies hitters. Making matters worse, the right-hander was battling a persistent head cold.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Mystik Dan won the 150th Kentucky Derby in a three-horse photo finish, edging out Sierra Leone by a nose with Forever Young third in the tightest finish since 1996 on Saturday. Sent off at 18-1 odds, Mystik Dan and jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. rode the rail down the stretch with a short lead. Sierra Leone, the second choice at 9-2 odds, and Forever Young from Japan gave chase and pressured the leader to the wire in front of 156,710 at Churchill Downs. It was just the 10th Kentucky Derby decided by a nose – the closest margin in horse racing – and the first since Grindstone wore the garland of red roses in 1996. The crowd waited several minutes before the result was reviewed by the stewards and declared official. “The longest few minutes of my life,” Hernandez said, after he and the bay colt walked in circles while the stunning result was settled. “To see your number flash up

HOREB, Wis. — A student was shot to death while carrying a pellet gun outside a Wisconsin middle school on Wednesday morning, the state Department of Justice said Saturday. The Wisconsin DOJ Division of Criminal Investigation is investigating the shooting. It happened after someone reported seeing a person with a backpack and a long gun near Mount Horeb Middle School, located about 20 miles southwest of Madison, just after 11 a.m. Mount Horeb police officers responded and found a 14-year-old boy, later identified as a student, east of the school’s main entrance at 900 Garfield Street.

PHILADELPHIA — A difficult situation for the Giants turned disastrous Saturday evening. Already without their starting catcher, they lost their No. 2 backstop not long into the second game of their series against the Phillies. Barely 24 hours after Patrick Bailey suffered a concussion, forcing him to the injured list before first pitch, his backup, Tom Murphy, was forced to exit in the second inning when he injured his left knee attempting to block a pitch in the dirt from reliever Mitch White. Murphy said that he felt his knee “pop” and that the constant downpour that delayed the start of the game by 70 minutes and never let up played a “big time” role in the injury. The catcher was set to undergo imaging on Sunday, but for now, manager Bob Melvin said, “It feels like it’s significant.” Related Articles San Francisco Giants | Routed in rainy Philadelphia, SF Giants lose more than just a game San Francisco Giants | SF Giants lose Patrick Bailey to second concussion of young career San Francisco Giants | Miscues loom large in SF Giants’ series-opening loss to

PHILADELPHIA — Nobody, not even Patrick Bailey, thought the foul tip off his face mask early Friday night had been severe enough to concuss the catcher for the second time in seven months. He felt fine. Well enough to draw a leadoff walk, run the bases and score from second on a double to right field. The next inning, though, Bailey was out of the game. Before first pitch Saturday, the 24-year-old Gold Glove finalist was placed on the injured list with a concussion, ruling him out for at least the next seven days. To give the Giants a second catcher on their roster, they recalled Blake Sabol from Triple-A Sacramento. “As far as these things go, hopefully it’s mild,” manager Bob Melvin said. “You can really tell the ones that really get you and bite you a little bit. I’m not sure he’s in that position yet, but based on the fact that he’s had these before it’s an easy decision to make.” Last September, the Cubs’ Jeimer Candelario barreled into Bailey on a play at the plate. The next day, he was placed

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Twenty horses stampeding toward the first turn in a battle for position. A screaming crowd of 150,000 and maybe some showers that dampen the Churchill Downs dirt strip. It’s the 150th Kentucky Derby. Beyond a couple early wagering favorites, it’s a wide-open race. Post time is 6:57 p.m. EDT Saturday. The forecast calls for 79 degrees and overcast skies with 82% humidity and a 20% chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms. The dirt surface was upgraded to good early in the afternoon after being muddy to start the day’s racing. Fans poured through the gates at Churchill Downs in colorful outfits and large hats with plumage. They lined up to buy mint juleps in souvenir glasses. Cigar smoke curled in the humid air. Wet weather could benefit six horses that have won in the mud or slop before, including early favorites Fierceness and Sierra Leone. The others with experience on messy surfaces are Dornoch, Just a Touch, Mystik Dan and Society Man. The Derby will answer the perennial question of which 3-year-old can best handle running 1 1/4 miles in front of
