On the A’s podcast with Charlie O:

#1 Charlie, the Oakland A’s started off the ball game with a Sean Murphy single that scored Tony Kemp from third base for a 1-0 lead over the Seattle Mariners and that’s the way it stayed for eight innings.

#2 The A’s got some good pitching out of starter Paul Blackburn who pitched a shutout into the seventh going 6.1 innings, four hits, one walk and five strikeouts.

#3 In the bottom of the eighth inning the M’s Justin Upton hit the tying home run to get back in back into the ball game 1-1.

#4 In the bottom of the ninth inning the M’s Abraham Toro slugged a single with the bases loaded to score pinch runner Marcus Wilson and the Mariners got a walk off single for the 2-1 win.

#5 The A’s are back today to face the Mariners for the fourth and final game and the A’s hope to pick up a second win in the series to come away with a 2-2 split. The A’s will be starting Frankie Montas (3-8, 3.20) and for the Mariners Robbie Ray (6-6, 3.78)
