On the Oakland A’s podcast with Jerry F:

#1 Jerry, the Oakland A’s (3-3) impressed once again with a 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays (4-2). The A’s who beat the Rays in the first game of this four game series 13-2 on Monday night nearly won game 2 on Tuesday night losing 9-8. The A’s Sean Murphy has done wonders at the plate for the A’s with a three run homer to help beat the Rays 4-2 on Wednesday.

#2 A’s starter Frankie Montas threw for six and two thirds innings, two runs and five hits and struck out six batters. No doubt Frankie had all his pitches working for him.

#3 Murphy’s home run couldn’t have come at a better time top of the third early in the game and it help up.

#4 A’s closer Lou Trivino shut the door on the Rays. Trivino in the bottom of the ninth gave up a single to the Rays Francisco Mejía and walked Brandon Lowe with two outs he was able to get Wander Franco to pop out in foul territory.

#5 The A’s conclude this four game series with the Rays this morning at 10:10 AM. The A’s will start Cole Irvin (0-1 ERA 6.75) for the Rays Josh Fleming (1-0 ERA 0.00) at Tropicana
