That’s two in a row!
For the second straight day, the Oakland A’s beat the Kansas City Royals, this time a 5-3 comeback victory. It marks the first time in a month that the A’s have won back-to-back games, and also their first series win in the same span.
The last time Oakland won twice in a row was May 24-25 against the Mariners. Since then they’d dropped 22 of 27 games, and lost eight series in a row, half of them sweeps. Most of the defeats were marked by a complete lack of offense, as the club averaged well under three runs per contest during the skid.
