In the unknowable wisdom of Baseball, the Giants were imbued with the power of the A’s and the A’s got to spend the weekend experiencing what it was like for the Astros and Yankees to face them last week. No, the A’s didn’t get to either team’s tough bullpens, but they did manage to get the right hits at the right time and the key outs at the most critical time. If only the Giants could make them all look this easy.
Logan Webb experienced his first real setback in the 2nd inning by giving up the two-run lead Stephen Vogt’s sac fly and Donovan Solano’s RBI single had created in the top half of the inning.
