It’s very hard to get a sweep under any conditions, but when Rich Hill, the ace of the 2016 A’s, had to leave the game after five pitches, A’s fans knew this was going to be an especially difficult sweep. The Oakland Athletics played very well but ended up losing 5-3. Nevertheless, it was a very good weekend for the Green and Gold.
Friday night, the A’s won 8-7. Josh Reddick went 2-2 with two walks. He hit a home run and scored four times. But Reddick was not the A’s MVP on Friday.
