SEATTLE — The Oakland A’s enter the All-Star break as one of the hottest teams in baseball.
Oakland knocked around Mariners opener Matt Carasiti and didn’t stop when Wade LeBlanc entered, putting up a five spot in the first and adding another run the next inning on Marcus Semien’s 14th home run of the season. The 7-4 win Sunday clinched a series win in Seattle to close the first half and was the A’s 50th win entering the break.
If you’re feeling a sense of deja vu, it’s not just you.
“It’s a trip,” third baseman Matt Chapman said.
