On the A’s podcast with Jerry F:

#1 Jerry another tough loss for the Oakland A’s on Wednesday afternoon as they lose it to the Los Angeles Angels as Magneuris Sierra played hero hitting a tenth inning single to tie the game in the top of the tenth inning 4-4 and Sierra did it again with an RBI double in the top of the 12th that turned out to be the game winning hit Angels win 5-4 at the Oakland Coliseum.

#2 This was the second time the last place A’s have lost an entire homestand this time with five straight loses, two to the San Francisco Giants and three to the Angels.

#3 The A’s just couldn’t do anything Angels closer Jaime Barria who pitched three innings who gave up just one hit and one strike out. Halos manager Phil Nevin said that “nothing fazes him.”

#4 For the Angels and A’s both teams battled right down to the end as the Angels got help from Sierra in the tenth and 12th and the A’s Ramon Luareano got RBI singles.

#5 The A’s who are coming off a complete sweep of their last homestand will try to get back on the winning side again starting a with a seven game road trip on Friday night in Houston. For the A’s Adam Oller (1-5, 7.63) will get the start and for the Astros Luis Garcia (8-8, 3.93) a 5:10 pm PDT first pitch at Minute Maid Field.
