Finally! The Athletics got the win tonight, earning their first victory in Sacramento by beating the San Diego Padres 10-4 and tying this series up one game apiece with the rubber match set for tomorrow afternoon.
Like we’ve seen from the first four home games, the away team got out to yet another massive early lead. Athletics lefty Jeffrey Springs came out of the gates wobbly, allowing three runs in the first inning, all with two outs. His defense didn’t help him out as Gio Urshela made a throwing error that kept the Friars’ rally going but more importantly nearly hurt Tyler Soderstrom.
