Prodigal infielder Jed Lowrie is A’s top hitter so far

Prodigal infielder Jed Lowrie is A’s top hitter so far DETROIT - A month into his return stint with the A’s, Jed Lowrie is the team’s most reliable offensive performer. Lowrie, who was Oakland’s shortstop in 2013-14, is now at second base, and he’s batting a team-high .325 with 12 RBIs. “I would say he’s our most consistent hitter up to this point,” manager Bob Melvin said. [...] a guy who really doesn’t care where he hits in the lineup -move him around and it doesn’t faze him. Lowrie’s former team, the Astros, comes to town for a series that starts Friday. Lowrie said he always feels that about every opponent, but well, yes, there’s more against a former team, especially one he’d signed with. The Astros, a playoff team last year, are off to a surprisingly poor start at 7-15, but Melvin doesn’t expect that they will stay in the AL West cellar. Khris Davis is batting .368 during a five-game hitting streak and has hit cleanup two games in a row.
