Sacramento A’s podcast Jeremiah Salmonson:

#1 Sacramento A’s catcher Shea Langeliers’ two run homer contributed to a four run first inning and helped the A’s for a 5-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento on Friday night.

#2 Brent Rooker hit a sacrifice fly and then Langeliers came up with his 19th home run of the season and Carlos Cortez connected for a RBI single and the A’s quickly jump on Diamondbacks pitcher Anthony DeSclafani.

#3 In the fourth inning Rooker got a base hit and then Tyler Soderstrom hit his second double of the game to score Rooker to put the A’s in front 5-0 in the last of the fourth.

#4 The A’s got some good pitching that helped beat some good hitting from starter Jacob Lopez who improved his record to 4-6. Lopez pitched five scoreless innings allowing five hits. The A’s have now won seven of their last eight games.

#5 For Saturday night’s tilt at Sutter Health starting pitchers for the Diamondbacks RHP Zac Gallen (7-12 ERA 5.60) for the A’s RHP JT Ginn (2-2 ERA 3.89) first pitch at 7:05pm PT.
