Bullpen of the Week: Athletics

Not even two of the most hitter-friendly ballparks in the Majors can slow the A's bullpen.

Fortified by the recent acquisition of Jeurys Familia from the Mets, the Oakland relief corps thrived at Globe Life Park in Arlington and Coors Field, posting a 1.42 ERA and 29 strikeouts in 25 1/3 innings to earn MLB Bullpen of the Week presented by The Hartford for July 23-29.

As part of The Hartford Prevailing Moments program, each Monday throughout the 2018 season, MLB.com is honoring the MLB Bullpen of the Week presented by The Hartford. An industry-wide panel of MLB experts, including legendary stats guru Bill James, constructed a metric based on James' widely renowned game-score formula, to provide a weekly measurement of team-bullpen performance.
