MILWAUKEE — Infielder Abraham Toro was acquired by the Oakland Athletics from the Milwaukee Brewers for minor league right-hander Chad Patrick. The 26-year-old Toro was 8 for 18 with two homers and nine RBIs in nine games for Milwaukee this year and hit .291 with eight homers in 58 RBIs in 96 games at Triple-A Nashville. A switch-hitter, Toro has a .211 career average with 28 homers and 108 RBIs in five big league seasons. Patrick was obtained by the A's from Arizona on July 31 in the deal that sent infielder/outfielder Jace Peterson to the Diamondbacks.
