That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast:

#1  The A’s went on a tear against the San Francisco Giants over the weekend that included two comeback wins with home runs from Stephen Piscotty on Friday night for a grand slam that tied the game in the ninth and the eventual come back in the tenth and on Saturday Mark Canha hit the game winning home run to edge the Giants.

#2 The Giants bullpen has suffered through this series and they sent out catcher Tyler Heineman to pitch in relief who wound pitching a scoreless inning on Sunday using breaking pitches

#3 Once again the A’s slugged another one out against the Giants with a 15-3  laugher to close out the three game sweep at Oracle Park.

#4 One of the big reasons for the A’s success in the series is the Giants relievers have given up 23 home runs in 24 games and evidence of that is when they had to go to a position player Heineman for relief help.

#5 The win put the A’s 4.5 games in first place in the American League west with a 16-6 record the winningest record in MLB.
