The A’s, as many as 12 games out of first place in the middle of June, are now just 2 1/2 back of the Astros following today’s win.
They are 70-48 on Aug. 12. Last year, they didn’t record their 70th win until Sept. 22. The previous two years, they fell short of 70 wins.— Jane Lee (@JaneMLB) August 12, 2018
- Hatcher remains in organization...
Chris Hatcher clears waivers, sent to Triple-A Nashville; he'll be a September callup or come up earlier if needed.
