Good evening and a happy Friday to you! I find myself in the unique position of opening up another Friday night game thread where the A’s are trying to notch their fifth win in a row. This happened last week on the first game of the doubleheader, and surprise, here we are again today!
The A’s, fresh off a delightful four-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers and if they aren’t the hottest team in the league (annoyingly, the one team standing in their playoff way right now is just as hot), they’re certainly one of the hottest, will take their show home against the Central Division-leading Cleveland Indians.
