On the A’s podcast with Barbara:

#1 Tough loss for the Oakland A’s starter Hogan Harris who dropped his record to 2-1 in the A’s fifth consecutive loss on Sunday. The A’s lose by a run 3-2 to the visiting Philadelphia Phillies at the Oakland Coliseum.

#2 Harris went six innings, giving up four hits two runs, seven strikeouts. He had his pitches working for him and kept runners off the bases.

#3 The Phillies Kyle Schwarber led off with a left field home run in the top of the first for his 20th homer of the season and it didn’t shake Harris’ confidence.

#4 In the top of the eighth the Phils Trea Turner’s hit scored Cristian Pache and the Phillies went up by two runs 3-1. The A’s were able to pick up one run in the bottom of the eighth but weren’t able to tie the game going down by a run.

#5 The A’s will try it all over again as they have the day off on Monday and face the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field for a three game series starting on Tuesday night at 4:10pm. For the A’s Luis Medina (1-6 ERA 7.55) will go up against the Guardians Aaron Civale (2-2 ERA 2.67) to open the series.
