Two of the biggest reasons for the A’s exciting start to the second half of their 2024 season have been Lawrence Butler and Brent Rooker. In six games since the All-Star Break, the two have combined to go 19-44 with a few home runs and 14 RBI’s heading into today. Tonight, it was no shock that both were in the middle of the A’s successes yet again.
Three big flies — one each for Rooker and Butler — led the way for the A’s who snagged the 6-5 win over the Los Angeles Angels to take game one of the four-game set.
