The A’s keep rolling along; racking up yet another victory for their seventh in a row, despite a shortened starting pitching effort by tonight’s starter. The A’s offense more than made up for their pitching tonight; they racked up another three home runs as they finally figured out a way to beat Seattle.
Tonight, more than any other, highlighted what was missing in the first two months of the baseball season, Matt Olson and Mark Canha, both of whom were on display for a brief, yet game-winning, moment in today’s fourth inning, as the A’s survived a wild night by starter Daniel Mengden, who allowed just one run instead of the six he deserved, flipped around a early 1-0 deficit and held on for their seventh win in a row.
