On the Oakland A’s podcast with Barbara:

#1 The Braves took the early lead in the first inning when the ever dependable Matt Olson singled Marcell Ozuna home for a 1-0 tally.

#2 After the opening inning there was not a lot of offense for either team. Through six innings the Braves had only two hits and the A’s had a single hit.

#3 A’s starter Luis Medina went 5.2 innings allowing the two hits, 1 run, 2 walks with 6 strikeouts. He had a nice outing.

#4 Braves starter Charlie Morton did well in his own right pitching six innings, one hit, with six strikeouts. It was more a pitching match than anything.

#5 The A’s open up a three game series on Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners will start George Kirby (4-5, ERA 4.08) the A’s will start Joey Estes (1-1, ERA 6.10) for a 6:45pm PT first pitch.
