On the Oakland A’s podcast with Augie:

#1 Augie, the Cleveland Guardians Josh Naylor hit a home run on Saturday that he took the bat and hit himself in the head with the bat to celebrate. The Guardians took the second game of the three game series from the A’s 6-3 at Progressive Field.

#2 A’s pitcher Alex Wood was touched up for eight hits and four earned runs over five innings. He just had a tough time trying to get tracked against the Guardians line up.

#3 The A’s will have to go out and face Naylor again who been hitting like Ted Williams this opening month of the season swinging for a .429 average with five homers and 11 RBIs scoring eight runs in eight games.

#4 On the other hand the A’s are not just hurting in getting some good starting pitching in the series but also they need runs badly and the hitting production is off.

#5 First pitch in game three Sunday is scheduled for 10:40 AM. Ross Stripling (0-4 ERA 5.32) will get the start for Oakland and Tanner Bibee (1-0 ERA 4.82) will take the mound for the Guardians.
