Mired in their longest losing streak since early September of 2017 (eight games from Aug. 28 to Sept. 5 of 2017), the A’s have been unfortunately consistent in all facets of the game.
From defensive miscues to starters departing early to dormant bats, they have failed in all ways imaginable during their current five-game losing streak.
After collecting just three hits in Tuesday’s 5-0 loss at Boston, the lineup is hitting .159 (25-for-164) during the stretch, having just buttered their bread twice during the stretch with two long balls.
“A little funk going on right now, across the board,” said manager Bob Melvin.
