Maybe the A’s should’ve saved some runs yesterday.
Following their 19-8 win yesterday including 18 hits and five big flies, the A’s cashed in a much less entertaining and sloppier effort today. It was messy on the offensive end as the bats didn’t wake up until the sixth inning, and it was messier on the defensive front with three errors. The A’s committed seven total this series.
In the end, all of this culminated in a 6-3 loss for the A’s as the Baltimore Orioles took the series finale and rubber match. It’s the last time the A’s will be at the Coliseum in 12 days as they head to the east coast then to the All-Star Game break.
