Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!
I hope you had a safe and happy Fourth of July yesterday—bonus points if you’re in the thick of a four-day weekend!
I am still feeling celebratory in the wake of the A’s - Angels series that concluded yesterday with Oakland’s first sweep in over two months. It was also a well-timed revenge sweep, since the Angels swept three from the A’s in Anaheim just last week. The victors in both these series put up an ample total of 17 runs, but the A’s also utterly stymied the Angels bats on Wednesday and Thursday, shutting the Halos out in games 2 and 3.
