Elephant Rumblings: A’s “sweep slump” continues
Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!
Riddle me this: What do you get when your home run hitting club visits a home run friendly ballpark?
The A’s homered four times yesterday and have hit seven homers in the first two games of the series against the Reds. Oakland has scored an MLB-high 50.4% of their runs via the home run.

The A's better not lose a game where JJ Bleday is Ken Griffey Jr. and Lawrence Butler is Hank Aaron
