At this point the Oakland A’s are just tuning up for the postseason, but they took care of business on Saturday against the Angels. Khris Davis homered in the 1st inning, Jed Lowrie went deep as well, and the pitching staff had a quality day to keep the Halos quiet in a 5-2 victory. Along the way, there were some fun stats to follow.
The A’s jumped out early on Davis’ two-run homer. It was his 48th dinger of the season, putting him in a tie with Jimmie Foxx for fourth-most in franchise history. The list is just two seasons by Mark McGwire (52, 49), two by Foxx (58, 48), and this year by Khrush (48).
