Game #79: A's Fail to Attain Sweep, Fall to Giants 12-6

After taking the first three games in the 2016 Bay Bridge Series, the A's were unable to complete the sweep in the series finale.

The Oakland A's came in to Thursday night's Bay Bridge Series finale with a chance at making history. Completing a regular season series sweep would be a first in the 20 years of interleague play the two teams have completed. Unfortunately, that was not the case as the A's fell to a seemingly determined Giants bunch, led by staff ace Madison Bumgarner.

A's rookie starter Dillon Overton did not follow in the footsteps of his fellow rookie SPs Daniel Mengden and Sean Manaea, as Overton took the loss and ended with a not pretty line of 3 innings pitched, 8 runs (all earned) on 8 hits and 3 walks with just 1 K.
