The Oakland Athletics have relied upon the home run this season as their primary mode of attack. Led by Khris Davis (39), Ryon Healy (25), Matt Joyce (24) and Matt Olson (23), the A’s have been in love with hitting home runs.
Fueled by an injection of youth, the A’s have enjoyed their most productive month of the season in September. Bob Melvin‘s group has a four-game winning streak entering play on Friday. Overall, the A’s will enter Friday with 69 wins on the year with a chance of hitting 70 or more wins for the first time since 2014.
