Sacramento Athletics podcast Jeremiah Salmonson:

#1  What an afternoon at Sutter Health Park as the Sacramento A’s who had a 5-0 lead on Wednesday over the Seattle Mariners watch that all go away. The M’s Leody Taveras slugged a two RBI single in his Seattle debut.

#2 Taveras ended up scoring later when Dylan Moore got a hit that scored Taveras that gave the M’s the lead and eventual win coming back from a five run deficit to win the game 6-5.

#3 The A’s at one time needed just one win to tie M’s for first place after beating the Mariners on Monday night 7-6 in 11 innings put them one back. It was on Tuesday night the A’s couldn’t seal the deal to tie the M’s for first losing 5-3 and going back to two games. Their loss on Wednesday now sets them back three games.

#4 The Mariners are hot with the two out three wins in the series they have now won their ninth straight series. The A’s were getting close in the two games they lost but the Mariners reached deep down and made comebacks to beat the A’s.

#5 It’s back to the drawing board as the A’s will host Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees on Friday night after taking Thursday off. Starting pitcher for the Yankees RHP Will Warren (1-2 ERA 5.65) he’ll be opposed by the Athletics Osvaldo Bido RHP (2-2 ERA 4.71) first pitch 7:00pm PDT at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento.
