The Athletics beat the Dodgers tonight, 3-2, in a close-fought game that came down to a bang-bang play at the plate and a dropped ball. That halts any Dodger attempt at a winning streak and evens the season series for the year and 2-2.

Clayton Kershaw definitely didn’t have his best stuff today even if he was generally still effective. He worked six innings in 97 pitches and gave up just two runs, both coming in the 4th. All of the six hits he surrendered were singles, and four just happened to come in that 4th, but it’s what can happen when you strike just one batter out.
