Sacramento A’s podcast Barbara Mason:

#1 The Sacramento Athletics took on the Los Angeles Angels over the weekend losing the series after winning the first game another series loss after losing a series to the Giants last week.

#2 The A’s have now dropped to fourth place in the standings although they are only two games out of first place in a tightly contested division.

3. The hero of the game Sunday was Josh Lowe who set the Angels up early winning game three of the series.

4. What went so wrong for the Athletics in this series after winning convincingly in the series opener Friday night. Was it the defense, the bullpen, the offense or a combination of things gone wrong.

5. The A’s will now be tested to the max Monday night when they take on the best team in baseball for a three game series. Monday night the Dodgers come to town at Sutter Health Park in their first meeting this season with the A’s.
