Sacramento A’s podcast Barbara Mason:

#1 The Sacramento A’s lost a tough series to the San Francisco Giants with a 6-2 loss on Sunday night. San Francisco takes the regular season series overall finishing, 5-1.

#2 Giant Willy Adames continues his batting presence going 1-3 at the plate with one run, one home run, two BB’s, and three RBI’s last Sunday evening. He now joins former legendary Giant Rich Aurilia with three or more RBIs in consecutive games since September 2000.

#3 A’s starting pitcher Jacob Lopez pitched 4.1 inning, allowed five hits, four earned runs, one walk and five strikeouts. The Giants scored three runs off Lopez in the top of the fifth inning that caused most of the damage for Sacramento.

#5 It’s back to the drawing board for the A’s who host the Atlanta Braves Tuesday night at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento. Starting pitcher for the Braves RHP Didier Fuentes (0-2 ERA 9.00) and for the A’s LHP Jeffrey Springs (6-6 ERA 4.07) first pitch 7:05pm PT.
