A's open season at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, give up 18 runs in blowout loss to Cubs

The Athletics opened their 2025 home slate on Monday night, and things did not go well.

The Chicago Cubs cruised to a dominant 18-3 win over the A's at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, which will play home to the team as it prepares to move permanently to Las Vegas. Carson Kelly hit for the cycle in the win, too, which made him the first player in the league to do so and the first Cubs player to pull that feat off since 1993.

Sutter Health Park will be the A's home for the next three seasons as they await their new ballpark in Las Vegas, and they'll share it with its usual residents, the Sacramento River Cats, the San Francisco Giants' Triple-A affiliate.
