Sacramento A’s podcast Barbara Mason:

#1 Sacramento A’s starter JT Ginn had an amazing game until the fourth inning he tweaked something in left ankle and had to exit the game when releiver Joel Kuhnel took the mound. The A’s used five pitchers and wound up winning Sunday’s contest 2-1 and taking the series 2-1.

2. The A’s took an early 2-0 lead scoring both runs in the first inning. Carlos Cortez continued his offensive excellence driving in both runs. He had three hits on four at bats. This game got uncomfortably close but the A’s hung on.

3. Despite being so early in the season this game carried some importance when it comes to momentum-it’s been a while since the A’s have been at the top of the standings and seeing them occupy first place has been a long time coming.

4. Shea Langliers continues to prove that he is one of the best offensive and defensive catchers in ht league with hits in both games two and three.

5.The A’s will start a thre-game series Tuesday taking on the 10-17 Kansas City Royals in Sacramento. First pitch for that game is scheduled for 6:40 PM with Jacob Lopez (2-1 ERA 5.70) taking the mound for the A’s while the Royals will start Kris Bubic (2-1 ERA 4.08).
