Major League Baseball’s replay review system continues to be an embarrassment to the sport, but the Oakland A’s didn’t let it stop them from hopping back into the win column on Monday.
The A’s held on for a tight 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, despite having a third run taken away on another botched replay call. Catcher Sean Murphy led the way for the green-and-gold, driving in both runs and providing sparkling defensive work behind the plate, and Oakland has now won 14 of their last 15 contests after snapping a 13-game win streak on Sunday.
