The A’s are somehow going toe-to-toe with the best teams in the league.
The Oakland Athletics don’t seem to have the capacity to score more than 3 runs in a game but it hasn’t mattered much with the way the team is pitching.
Today, the A’s only needed 4 pitchers in 10 innings to keep the now 16-9 Baltimore Orioles at bay. Starting with a vintage Ross Stripling outing — 5 2?3 innings with 2 earned runs, 3 Ks and 0 BBs — and closing with an...

Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!
The A’s closed out a tough series in the harsh environs of Yankee Stadium yesterday with a 3-1 win to secure a 2-2 series split against one of the American League’s hottest teams. Oakland is still playing sub-.400 ball this season, but silver lining: they’re three games ahead of the Astros in the AL West.
Second baseman Zack Gelof was widely regarded as the A’s best player coming into the...

Alex Wood puts in his best start of the season thus far while a big third inning is all the offense needed
Alex Wood haters beware: he got in the win column for the first time all season tonight.
It certainly wasn’t the prettiest start of his career, but Wood did an excellent job with damage control all night while cashing in on three runs of support in the third inning. Those same three runs would be all the A’s needed as they defeated the New York...
The Oakland Athletics placed second baseman Zack Gelof, who had started the team's first 24 games, on the 10-day injured list Thursday because of a left oblique strain.

A series split looks a lot better than losing 3?4
Now on game seven of a ten-game east coast road trip, the A’s will wrap up their four-game stand with the New York Yankees today looking to earn a series split.
Taking the ball for the A’s is Alex Wood. Not much can be said about Wood that hasn’t already been ranted in a comment section, but the lefty hasn’t been good this season and could be on the brink of a relief demotion. Perhaps the only...

A four-run first inning was more than the A’s could overcome Tuesday night
A big first inning was more than the Oakland Athletics and Paul Blackburn could overcome in a 4-3 loss to the New York Yankees Tuesday night.
Oakland wasn’t able to scratch a run across in Monday’s opener until the ninth inning. They started quickly Tuesday. Brent Rooker fell behind 0-2 against Marcus Stroman, but hung in and worked a walk. Seth Brown followed with a sinking line...

Injuries have started to clear up a bit for the hitters in the Oakland Athletics system, and we’re getting full lineups and some solid performances especially from guys like Tyler Soderstrom.
