On the A’s podcast with Charlie O:

#1 After a long road trip and going 1-8, the Oakland A’s looked forward to Monday’s day off to gear up for the Cincinnati Reds series starting Tuesday.

#2 Both the A’s and Reds are in last place in their respective divisions. The Reds are 15-10 and the A’s 15-21. It’s hard to believe at one time both these two teams met in the World Series back in 1972.

#3 The Reds are coming off a split with the Giants in four games played in Cincinnati. The Reds got beat by the Giants in two comeback games after leading San Francisco by scores of 8-0 and 4-0.

#4 It’s been a long time since A’s outfielder Khris Davis has hit a home run. He’s sitting on 10 of them for this season.

#5 The A’s will start Mike Fiers (2-3, 6.81 ERA) goes for tonight going against the Cincinnati Reds Tyler Mahle (0-4, 4.09 ERA).
