The A’s dropped the series finale against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday morning, falling by a final of 3-1 against the team with the fourth-best record in the National League.
Today’s game saw one of Oakland’s young promising starting pitchers make his return to the club today. Right-hander Luis Medina, who has been on the IL all season long due to a knee sprain, made his season debut today and it went about as well as one would hope. Medina struck out the first batter he faced to start this game, but a couple baserunners later and the Braves were staked to an early 1-0 lead.
