On the Oakland A’s podcast with Augie Mesenburg:

#1 The Oakland A’s put together a late rally scoring three runs in the top of the eighth and ninth innings and came out on top of the Seattle Mariners at T Mobile Field in Seattle 8-1 on Saturday night.

#2 Sometimes you just don’t know what A’s team is going to show up on Friday night the A’s got clobbered 8-1 but then turned it around with some clobbering of their own on Saturday night winning 8-1.

#3 Augie, A’s starter Joey Estes got the call up from triple A Las Vegas pitching five innings, giving up only two hits and one earned run. A great outing by Estes who kept the M’s off balance with the backing of four relievers.

#4 The A’s got offensive help from Abraham Toro and Brent Rooker hit for RBIs in the A’s two run third inning, Max Scheuemann hit a double for three runs in the eighth, and JJ Bleday hit a two run homer in the ninth.

#5 Oakland A’s LHP Alex Wood (1-2 ERA 5.30) and the Seattle Mariners Luis Castillio (3-5, ERA 3.35) will match up in the rubber game tonight at T Mobile. It comes down to who wants bad enough. Who do you like this one?
