The Oakland A’s last won a game on Sunday, in their home finale against the Rangers. Jharel Cotton threw seven sparkling innings, and Ryan Dull fanned three batters in a scoreless 9th. The lineup put together a seven-run rally, capped off by a towering homer by Ryon Healy; he and catcher Bruce Maxwell posted three-hit days. Matt Olson notched his first MLB hit, and Joey Wendle made one of the better slides I’ve seen in a while on a play at the plate.
These are the moments that keep my interest in a long September like this one, even days after the fact.
