The Oakland A’s have walk-off victories in each of their last two games! However, the reason late dramatics were necessary is that in both games the A’s only collected two hits during the first eight innings. That’s not gonna cut it, and it has to improve immediately if this club wants to make the playoffs much less compete for a title.
After all, there are only 52 games left, and their lead for the Second Wild Card is only 1.5 games over the Yankees and 2.5 over the Blue Jays, both of whom stocked up at the trade deadline and are now on winning streaks.
