On the A’s podcast with Jerry F:

#1 Jerry, the Atlanta Braves (30-27) just clobbered the Oakland A’s (20-38) on Wednesday night at Truist Field 13-2 for the A’s the pitching just melts down again.

#2 The Braves Michael Harris hit a two run triple against the A’s in the bottom of the fifth inning off A’s starter Jared Koenig in a five run inning for Atlanta.

#3 Things even got worse for the A’s in the bottom of the seventh inning as the Braves scored seven runs taking a 13-1 lead.

#4 For Koenig his Major League debut going four plus innings giving up four hits and five runs it was not quite the outing that he was expecting.

#5 The A’s will try it all over again as they open a four game series at Progressive Field in Cleveland starting for the A’s James Kaprielian (0-3, 6.06) and for the Cleveland Guardians Konnor Pilkington (1-0, 2.65) a 4:10 PM PDT first pitch.
