The A's are really playing their best baseball since the first half of 2014, and they're being lead by their rotation, something that was the team's biggest weakness like two weeks ago. Also: Jake Smolinski, Ryon Healy, and Billy Butler. Imagine telling yourself that three months ago.
Today Butler and Hahn were specifically the heroes – a guy who was just in AAA, and a guy who probably deserved to be there with him. It's fitting we're exactly four years on from the magical Yankees series in 2012, because this felt similarly.
