The A’s are holding their own. The traditionally good team needs to bounce back from last year’s losing season, and so far, they’ve been doing well. With a win last night in Los Angeles, the team is now tied with the Angels for first place in their division.
And it wasn’t just any win; it was a beating. Oakland scored fifteen runs on TWENTY hits in the 15-8 victory. If anything, this game was a statement to Oakland’s main competition saying that they are a serious force this season. The stand-out player for Oakland were Jack Cust who went 4-for-4 in the attack on LA’s bullpen. The starter, Nick Adenhart, only lasted two full innings, and gave up four runs before being pulled.
The A’s play tonight in a three game series at home against Texas, and hopefully, they will be able to carry the same fervor into tonight’s game.
