Sacramento A’s podcast Barbara Mason:

1. The Athletics wrapped their three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays winning the series against a very tough team that right now is holding down first place in the American League East.

2. The A’s had a great offensive game to finish off the series with Austin Wynns, Tyler Soderstrom and Nick Kurtz belting pitches out of the park.

3.Pitching had so much to do with this win, Jeffrey Springs going 6 2/3 innings and putting this game away it was “Miller TIme” he did what he does just about every time he takes the mound – he sends opposing teams packing.

4.For while it has been Jacob Wilson as a leading contender for rookie of the year but now there’s a new kid on the block in Nick Kurtz who is now also a contender both of them hitting light standards and a threat every time they take the plate.

5.Following the All-Star game, the A’s head out to Cleveland for a three-game series with the Guardians next Friday night. With the game this far out, who will start for the A’s is still undecided although probable for the Guardians is Slade Ceccioni.
