Looking to take yet another series against a western rival, the Athletics faced off against the Arizona Diamondbacks today at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento.
Jack Perkins got the start today against Eduardo Rodriguez for the D-backs. Perkins escaped with just a threat in the first but didn’t have the same luck in the second. Walks and singles bit him as he walked in the first run with bases loaded and then a sac fly and single made the score 3-0.
The A’s got something going against Rodriguez in the bottom of the second, loading the bases on a leadoff double by Austin Wynns, a single by recent call-up JJ Bleday and a walk by Gio Urshela.
