The Oakland A’s 2021 postseason hopes continued to dwindle this week, but they’re not down to zero yet.
The A’s went on the road and took two of three games from the Kansas City Royals, but that was only enough to hold steady in a race in which they trail. With time running out, they need to be gaining ground, not treading water, and it especially hurt that the one loss at Kauffman Stadium featured a blown six-run lead.
The two clubs combined for 48 runs and 75 hits during their ridiculous series together, an average of eight runs and 12 hits per team per game.
