One thing people love to talk about when it comes to baseball is how things always even out. Typically, this comes up when a batter smokes a ball but a fielder makes the play or when a pitcher makes a perfect pitch and the ball just goes to no-man’s-land and the batter ends up safe. But, logically, it must work the other way as well. Edward Olivares banged two home runs in a win last night but today he wore the golden sombrero awarded to batters who strike out four times in the same game. He also lost two different balls in the sun - both were ruled doubles - that directly or indirectly led to three runs scoring.
A’s look more focused than the Royals, win 9-7
