Sacramento A’s podcast Barbara Mason:

1.After losing the first two games of the series, the Sacramento Athletics were looking for a win in game three on Sunday to not only avoid the sweep but also remain in first place in the American League West.

2.There were some real offensive standouts in Sunday’s game starting with Carlos Cortez leadoff batter and it didn’t stop there, this roster had a great game from Nick Kurtz, Tyler Soderstrom and Jonah Heim.

3. The A’s not only got great offensive work from Tyler Soderstrom but he was outstanding defensively. Rookie Henry Bolte continues to deliver after being brought up along with Alika Wiliams who came onboard a little over a week ago from Pittsburgh.

4. The A’s opening pitching strategy worked great for the A’s. Luis Medina did open the game but came out early. He has recently come off Tommy John surgery and has been working stricktly out of the bullpen.

5. The A’s will now open a series with the Seattle Mariners with the first game Monday night. This will be a series between the top two teams in the American League West.
