In the first half of the 2021 Bay Bridge Series back in June, the San Francisco Giants took two of three from the Oakland A’s. But the A’s lineup looks quite a bit different this time around.
Oakland got contributions from all three of the new hitters they acquired in July, leading to a 4-1 victory over the Giants at the Coliseum. The season series is now even at two apiece.
Both starting pitchers worked in and out of trouble through the first three innings, but in the 4th the A’s got the scoring started. After a leadoff walk, new catcher Yan Gomes did his job as a lefty-masher by blasting a double off the wall in left field.
