On the A’s podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 The Oakland A’s, behind Luis Medina’s best performance of the year and timely hitting by the A’s offense, gave the A’s a 2-1 win over the Central Division champions, the Minnesota Twins.

#2 It was Medina’s last start in 2023, and he made it a good one. The young man from the Dominican Republic can go home knowing how well he pitched Thursday afternoon.

#3 The Twins did score a run off Medina in the bottom of the sixth. However, relievers Lucas Erceg, Dany Jimenez, and Trevor May pitched a scoreless seventh, eighth, and ninth inning to secure the win for the Green and Gold.

#4 The A’s were facing their former teammate Sonny Gray in the final game of the three-game series. Gray had been a first-round pick of the A’s in the 2011 Amateur Draft. Gray had been a standout pitcher at Vanderbilt University.

#5 The A’s will close out the season with their final series against the Los Angeles Angels tonight in Anaheim. Starting pitchers for the A’s Ken Waldichuk (4-8 ERA 5.29) for the Angels Chase Silseth (4-1 ERA 4.10) first pitch 6:38pm PT.
