On the Oakland A’s podcast with Jerry:

#1 Down 9-4 Wednesday afternoon at the Oakland Coliseum the Oakland A’s came back from the five run deficit to defeat the Chicago White Sox in 14 innings 12-11. The A’s Jed Lowrie got a late inning homer that helped keep the A’s in the ball game and they later tied up the ball game.

#2 The A’s through the first of the two games defeated the Sox by scores of 8-1 and 10-1 but in the third game the A’s had to work to get the sweep past the White Sox batting the Sox in 14 innings for the third longest game in A’s history and went 5:48 long.

#3 The White Sox have now lost eight of their last nine games they were a club that came in that cured the A’s ills

#4 The A’s have got good pitching in recent outings from starter Sean Manaea they will really be defending on to get some good starts.

#5 The A’s now host the Boston Red Sox the hottest team in baseball coming in at 15-2 Jerry takes a look at how the A’s match up for the series starting Friday night.
