Takeaways: A’s offense sputtering during winless road trip

It looks as though turning the page on the A’s current slump will take more than a simple flip of the calendar.

With the loss on Wednesday, the team dropped its season series against Boston, 4-3, after going 3-1 in the first series versus the World Series champs. It was the first time since 2016 that Oakland had dropped a season set to the Red Sox.

The Athletics’ second consecutive sweep was the fifth series sweep they’ve suffered this season.

“It’s frustrating to lose one game,” said starter Mike Fiers, who was hooked with the loss on Wednesday.
