Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!

A’s win 5-2 behind Bleday heroics and shutdown bullpen effort

Neville E. Guard-USA TODAY Sports

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...

Elephant Rumblings: Nevin off to hot start

MLB news roundup

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...

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...

MLB news roundup

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...
