The Oakland A’s lineup got off to a slow start in the opening days of the season. After a couple nice performances against the Angels, they went cold for a week, scoring just 16 runs over six games mostly thanks to futility in the clutch hitting department. The pitching staff was helping them win games anyway, but that only masked the temporary lack of offense.
The slump appears to be over. The A’s heated up over the last few days, putting up 28 runs over four games. The comparison is stark.
