The A’s got back into the win column today, avoiding a sweep at the hands of the Twins with a close 2-1 win in the second-to-last series of the season.
We were treated to an old fashioned pitching duel today between a couple right-ganders. On the Oakland side was rookie Luis Medina, although I think it’s fair to say that Medina isn’t really a rookie anymore after pitching for the A’s most of the year. Opposing him was a familiar face in Sonny Gray, who has had a fantastic year for his fourth team. In fact, Gray is likely to take the ball for the Twins’ first playoff game.
