On That’s Amaury’s podcast:

#1 The Oakland A’s (31-25) suffer another tough loss as they opened a three game series on Monday afternoon Memorial Day at T Mobile Park in Seattle and lost to the Seattle Mariners (28-27) by a run 6-5 in the tenth inning.

#2 The A’s were one of baseball’s hottest teams and had a 13 game win streak going earlier in the season but it seems a lot of their opponents have done a lot of studying and have cut the amount of wins by the A’s including how to pitch to the team who hit only .209 during the four game weekend series against the Los Angeles Angels (24-30).

#3 In spite of the current three game losing streak the A’s still maintain first place by a half game over the Houston Astros (29-24) both the Astros and A’s have lost six of their last ten games.

#4 Amaury, talk about A’s pitching on Monday starter James Kaprielian allowed four earned runs and allowed five hits in the bottom of the third inning which proved to be the bulk of the Mariners scoring.

#5 Oakland A’s pitcher Chris Bassitt (5-2 ERA 3.21) in his last outing threw a complete game shutout and struck out nine hitters will get the start tonight against the Mariners Marco Gonzalez (1-3 ERA 5.40) Gonzalez is coming off the injured list for a strained forearm this is his first start since April 27th.
