Oakland A’s reliever TJ McFarland deals to the Los Angeles Angels in the top of the sixth inning at the Big A in Anaheim on Wed Jun 26, 2024 (AP News photo)

On the A’s podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 Oakland A’s starter Joey Estes pitched shutout ball against the Los Angeles Angels until the bottom of the sixth inning where the Angels scored five times in the bottom of the sixth inning taking a 5-1 lead.

#2 Estes was lifted by manager Mark Kotsay in the bottom of the sixth inning after pitching 5.2 innings, giving up three hits and two earned runs. He was finesse until he got into that sixth inning jam.

#3 The Angels Zack Neto belted a three run double that broke a 1-1 tie in the sixth and with a five run rally in the sixth the A’s chances to turn it back were dim and they wound up taking their fifth straight loss.

#4 Strange play Jeremiah, Max Schuemann hit a double and the A’s baserunner Kyle McCann missed touching home plate and turned around and ran into teammate Armando Alvarez at the plate and it was too late McCann was out.

#5 The A’s head to Arizona to open a three game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night. A’s will start JP Sears (4-7, ERA 5.04) the Diamondbacks have not announced a starter as of Wednesday night. First pitch 6:40pm PT.
