Oakland A’s starting pitcher JP Sears and other starters are just not getting the run support in low scoring games. Sears pitched on Thu Jun 6, 2024 at the Oakland Coliseum and lost 2-0 to the Seattle Mariners. (AP News photo)

On the A’s podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 Seattle Mariners Bryan Woo had his mix of pitches working for him so did relievers Austin Voth, Mike Baumann, and Ryne Stanek in shutting out the Oakland A’s on Thursday 2-0.

#2 Woo who is local to Oakland and grew up just ten minutes from the Coliseum threw for six inning giving up two hits and struck out six batters.

#3Jeremiah, the A’s have been getting the pitching but the run production is suffering. They won on Wednesday night only because starter Joey Estes had to pitch a perfect game up until the seventh inning and ace closer Mason Miller had to come in to shut the door with the 2-1 win over the Mariners in game two of the series.

#4 The A’s have now dropped six of their last eight games with Thursday’s defeat and were shutout for the fifth time this season. The A’s line up simply have to start stroking or this will be the A’s downfall all season. They are getting the good pitching.

#5 The A’s open up a three game series on Friday night against the Toronto Blue Jays at the Oakland Coliseum first pitch is slated for 6:40pm PT .Starting pitcher for Toronto Chris Bassitt (6-6, ERA 4.43) for Oakland LHP Logan Harris (0-0, ERA 3.14).
