The Oakland A’s have played one-third of their 60-game schedule in the 2020 season, and so far they’re first place in the entire American League. They’ve gotten there in historically grand fashion.
Three of the A’s 14 wins have come courtesy of clutch late-game grand slams. They’re already one of only 18 teams in MLB history to hit three slams in the 9th inning or later in a single season, and nobody had ever done it four times, per insider Sarah Langs.
Furthermore, two of those slams were walk-offs, both coming within the first 11 games of the summer.
