Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!
Trifecta! No, the A’s didn’t quite manage to sweep the Royals this week, but they did win their first series in nearly a month, and in the process looked like a young team primed for a refreshing turnaround.
It was Zack Gelof who had a home run trifecta, hitting home runs in all three games of the A’s - Royals series. The A’s second baseman was key to the series win, and if Zack can get this season’s struggles behind him and re-approach the success he had in 2023, it will be a huge boost for the team going forward.
