On the A’s podcast with Barbara:

#1 The Chicago White Sox needed good pitching to beat Oakland A’s good hitting and the Sox Mike Clevinger came through with ten strike outs in seven innings to help defeat the A’s on Sunday 6-1 at Guarantee Rate Field in Chicago.

#2 You just can’t keep a good man down as Yoan Moncada had a hot bat for the Sox going 4 for 4 when your going good at the plate like that you have confidence each time you come up to the plate.

#3 A’s pitching just couldn’t shut down the Sox Tim Anderson, Andrew Benintendi and Andrew Vaughn who had two hits a piece.

#4 Clevinger, Lane Ramsey and Tanner Banks were the key in the pitching side of things for the Sox as they held the A’s just to one run and the A’s just couldn’t figure out anything in the batter’s box during Sunday’s mattinee.

#5 It’s off to Seattle where the A’s will open up a three game series against the Mariners at T Mobile Field. The A’s haven’t announced a starter for Monday night, the M’s are going with Bryan Woo (1-3 ERA 4.58) first pitch 6:40pm PT.
