It what was a weird day at the hot corner, Ehire Adrianza made a great defensive play charging on a slow chopper, and made two incredible sliding stops that prevented doubles and saved runs in key situations, while a Matt Chapman error derailed an already tenuous start from Trevor Cahill and allowed the Twins to take a stranglehold on today’s game. Chapman also grounded into two double plays and struck out. As such, the A’s weren’t able to salvage the final home game of the regular season, clinch a playoff spot in front of the home fans, or gain ground on a losing Yankees’ club, losing by a score of 5-1.
