On the A’s podcast with Jerry F:
#1 Minnesota Twins third baseman Luis Arraez’ throwing error in the 10th inning costed the Twins the game Twins leading 12-11 in the bottom of the 10th scoring Elvis Andrus and Tony Kemp for the game winners to keep the A’s long 11 game win streak alive.
#2 You know the old saying good teams come back and win ball games and the A’s have done a little of everything they’ve had some shutouts pitched but on Wednesday afternoon they sure got some offense after being down by as much as 7-4 in the third inning.
#3 The Twins Byron Buxton was busy trying to keep the Twins the in the ball game scoring two runs, three hits which included a two run tenth inning home run that put the Twins on top 12-10.
#4 The A’s in the bottom half of the tenth scratched and clawed to score those three runs when they were down 12-10 to keep their 11 game win streak alive you have to wonder if the players were surprised or not really surprised based on the confidence of the team.
#5 Jerry, the A’s have the day off today after having Monday off due to their first game with the Twins which was canceled due to Coronavirus protocol issues.
