On the Oakland A’s podcast with Barbara:

#1 Barbara after getting soundly beat in the first two games of this series the Oakland A’s on Sunday avoided getting swept by the Milwaukee Brewers in a one run win 4-3 at the Coliseum.

#2 The A’s got all their runs in the bottom of the fourth inning scoring four runs all they needed them all as they held up for the 4-3 win.

#3 Former Oakland A’s and now Brewers pitcher Frankie Montas took the loss after walking Shea Langeliers with the bases loaded for the first run, Seth Brown hit a single to right that scored Brent Rooker for two of the first four runs for the A’s.

#4 The A’s got their next two runs on sacrifice flies Daz Cameron’s fly to right scored JJ Bleday and Zack Gelof’s fly to center scored Langeliers and that was enough runs for Oakland to win it.

#5 It’s off to Cincinnati and Great American Ballpark to face the Reds. The A’s on Tuesday will be starting Mitch Spence (7-9, ERA 4.67) the Reds have yet to announce a starter. The A’s are playing .500 ball having won five of their last ten. The Reds have lost seven of their last ten games.
