What strange week it has been. First, a strong series victory over the Houston Astros followed by an even more impressive statement in the form of a sweep of the New York Yankees. Two losses to the cross-bay rival San Francisco Giants, which we won’t discuss, prefaced Oakland’s largest offensive showing of the year against Kansas City. But these impressive wins aren’t the best thing about the past several days.
It seems like the A’s may be getting the pieces put back together after some awful summer slumps. Khris Davs, Jurickson Profar, and Stephen Piscotty, if not for his ill-timed injury, have all gotten on a bit of a roll lately.
