Things have been turning around this weekend for the Oakland A’s. Not only did the team get its first back-to-back victories, win its first series, and secure its first two starting pitcher wins, it also tied the Kansas City Royals for the worst record in the league. Usually that’s not what you want to do, but after leading that race for most of the year, it was a pleasant surprise to not feel like the worst team in history for 15 hours.
With today’s rubber match against the Royals, the A’s could’ve buried them in last place with a victory.
