The A’s were seemingly on track to secure their first victory in over a week this afternoon in their finale against the Angels. Instead the Halos rallied late to snatch a 10-5 win from the Athletics, sending them home with their ninth straight loss and finishing a four-game sweep in Sacramento. Not good.
Taking the hill today, Luis Severino entered this one with high hopes. After receiving a huge contract in the offseason these are the types of games the club hoped the veteran right-hander could win for us. When the club is on a losing streak having a stopper like Severino is critical to getting out of the funk.
