Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
What happens when you add a bit of offense to your excellent defense? You start winning games in bunches. The A’s put up a second straight five spot against the Pirates last night to win their third straight game. The A’s are now 13-11 since getting off to an awful start this season with a 1-6 homestand.
The A’s bullpen, buoyed by rising stars Mason Miller and Lucas Erceg, has been turning heads...

Home runs and bullpen proves to be the recipe yet again as the A’s will go for the sweep tomorrow
Ladies and gentlemen, the A’s are officially on a three-game winning streak.
They didn’t get the best outing from starter Alex Wood tonight, but the bullpen certainly picked up the slack yet again. Offensively, they did just enough against Pittsburgh Pirates starter Mitch Keller while adding some key runs late as JJ Bleday was tonight's offensive MVP for...
JJ Bleday hit two home runs and the Oakland Athletics ran their winning streak to a season-best-tying three games with a 5-2 victory over the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night.

Good afternoon and happy Tuesday, A’s Nation.
After yesterdays 5-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, the A’s and Bucco’s will line it up and do it again tonight in just over a hour as Alex Wood and Mitch Keller are set to square off.
Wood has been far from an Opening Day starter, but he’s coming off his best start of the season last week against the New York Yankees. Wood worked 5.2 innings allowing...

Happy Tuesday everyone!
There wasn’t much fanfare when the A’s announced that they had claimed Tyler Nevin off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles. He had struggled over his first few tries at the big leagues even though he’s generally hit well in the upper minor leagues. This wasn’t the buy-low candidate that people thought would break out.
And it’s still early to call this a breakout. But it’s something. Nevin is slashing...
OAKLAND — The Pittsburgh Pirates scored one run in their 5-1 loss Monday, and that came on a wild pitch in the first inning. After the first, the team managed just one hit, which didn’t take place until the ninth inning when game was all but sealed.
The A’s are prepared to offer minority ownership shares in the franchise to potential investors as they put together financing for their estimated $1.5B stadium.

A strong game all around from the good guys
The Athletics one-hit the Pittsburgh Pirates in a strong win on Monday night, coming out on top by a final of 5-1 in a great all-around win for the young club.
Boyle starts slow, finishes strong
The A’s sent right-hander Joe Boyle to the mound to start the series and it was a bit of a shaky start for the rookie. The Pirates got to him in the very first inning as he allowed a hit, two walks and two wild pitches, the...

New series to start the new week
After a long three-city road trip, the Athletics finally return home to the Coliseum to take on the Pittsburgh Pirates for the first game of this 10-game home stand.
Rookie right-hander Joe Boyle will be tasked with the start in tonight’s matchup. It’s been a roller coaster of a season for Boyle as he’s had a couple quality starts and a couple stinkers. His most recent start only lasted three innings due to a high pitch...

Mostly good news on the injury update today
The Athletics have been dealing with their fair share of injuries in the early going. The club currently has ten players on the IL, with half of them on the 60-day IL (though Gott is done for the year). The club provided some updates on a bunch of their injured players Monday afternoon:

Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!
The A’s won their game and series at Camden Yards against the Orioles yesterday on the strength of clutch hitting late in the game and knockout relief work, the same formula that won the first game of the series on Friday. But yesterday, the save opportunity was given to Lucas Erceg even though fireballing sensation and closer apparent Mason Miller had rested on Saturday.
Erceg rose to the occasion with a...
