Oakland extended their losing streak today, blowing a late lead a against the Cincinnati Reds and falling 3-2.
Facing Reds starter Hunter Greene, the offense struggled for most of this game. He struck out 10 A’s hitters in the first four innings and generally kept the bats in check.
Oakland did manage to tag him for a couple runs though. Outfielder Ramon Laureano, fresh off the IL and in his first at-bat put the A’s in business with a double to give the A’s an early scoring opportunity. They cashed in, getting the first run thanks to Aledmys Diaz:
