The Athletics faced off against the Tampa Bay Rays this morning at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. After winning the first two games of this series, the A’s hoped to take a rare road sweep home with them as they head back to West Sac for their holiday weekend series against the rival San Francisco Giants.
Mitch Spence took the mound for the A’s today against Ryan Pepiot for the Rays. The A’s got on the board first, and loudly when Brent Rooker took the second pitch he saw today and deposited it deep into the left field stands.
