Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!
The second half of the A’s - White Sox series was pretty anticlimactic, but Esteury Ruiz provided a glimmer of joy for fans in yesterday’s 6-1 loss to Chicago. The A’s were no-hit through five innings by Sox starter Mike Clevinger. Ruiz came up to lead off the sixth and broke up the no-no with a base hit to left field. Then, he stole second base to reach an impressive milestone of fifty swipes for the season.
