Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
What happens when you add a bit of offense to your excellent defense? You start winning games in bunches. The A’s put up a second straight five spot against the Pirates last night to win their third straight game. The A’s are now 13-11 since getting off to an awful start this season with a 1-6 homestand.
The A’s bullpen, buoyed by rising stars Mason Miller and Lucas Erceg, has been turning heads throughout April, and Jason Burke at SI.com rightly points to the A’s relief corps as the team’s biggest strength.
