On the Oakland A’s podcast with Augie:

#1 In game two Saturday of this three game series the Milwaukee Brewers Jake Bauers homered and scored three times in a four run win to defeat the Oakland A’s 9-5 at the Oakland Coliseum.

#2 Willy Adames, Rhys Hoskins and Garrett Mitchell all had two hits each. The Brewers scored runs in four different innings.

#3 A’s starter Joey Boyle struggled and pitched five innings, allowing five hits and five earned runs. The Brewers just kept adding more runners on base and Boyle struggled to get outs.

#4 The A’s silver lining was when designated hitter Brent Rooker slugged his 30th home run of the season and got three RBIs.

#5 The A’s go at it again today to conclude this three game series at the Coliseum for the Brewers starting pitcher RHP Frankie Montas (6-8, ERA 4.57) and for the A’s RHP Joey Estes (5-6, 4.44). Augie what your take on the starters and what are the A’s chances of avoiding a sweep today?
