OAKLAND — The A’s continued throwing a monkey wrench in the anticipated storyline of the Bay Bridge Series.
They’ve stopped the major leagues’ hottest team in their tracks, roughing up the Giants 7-1 on Wednesday for their third win in as many days against their neighboring rival.
San Francisco came in having gone 31-9 over their previous 40 games and looking like one of the majors’ super powers. It’s the A’s who have been the model of inconsistency, languishing in the bottom half of the AL West standings.
All has been turned upside down in Bay Area baseball since Monday.
