Elephant Rumblings: Sears continues to struggle
Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
A’s pitching has been trending up lately. Top starters Luis Severino and Jeffrey Springs both contributed quality starts that helped the A’s sweep the Royals last weekend. Jacob Lopez is showing promise in fits and starts, most recently having fanned nine in Kansas City.
Mitch Spence and J.T. Ginn made a fine tandem in Monday’s walk-off against the Astros, collaborating on eight innings of one-run ball to keep the A’s in a tight one and set up a big finale from Nick Kurtz.
On June 5, Mitch Spence entered the A's rotation and they also got T.J. McFarland and Michael Kelly back in the bullpen. Since then, the A's team ERA is 3.39.
