The Oakland A’s and San Francisco Giants are slated to play six games this season, with a three-game set at each team’s park. The first half of that schedule is now complete, with the S.F. games done and the Oakland section coming next week after the All-Star break. Let’s look back at the best parts of this rivalry series so far, in no particular order.
1. The A’s won!
First and foremost, the most important thing is that the A’s came out on top by taking two out of the three games at AT&T. That’s not just crucial because of the rivalry, or the cool trophy that’s now at stake for the winner of the season series, but because Oakland is in an actual playoff hunt this summer.
