Game #93: Homer Happy A’s, Backed By Fiers’ Gem, Stay Red-Hot to Open Series With 5-1 Win

There are not too many pleasures in life greater than a warm summer early-July Friday night, when your baseball team is red-hot and the endless stretches of daily summer baseball are right in front of you. Although you can’t wait for the crisp air of fall that brings with it the glorious possibilities of playoff baseball, there’s a stronger part of you that wants the summer to last forever; as every night is filled with offensive miracles, and the no-name pitching staff doing nothing except performing at an elite pitcher level night after night. Tonight was no exception; a brilliant game that the A’s had in hand from the very first inning.
