Sacramento A’s podcast Bridget Mulcahy:

#1 What went wrong for A’s starter Jack Perkins, and how difficult was it for Sacramento to recover after Tampa Bay built an early lead?

#2 How important were Lawrence Butler’s two-run home run and Zack Gelof’s solo homer in giving the A’s a chance to get back into the game?

#3 What did Carlos Cortes contribute offensively, and did his performance provide a positive sign for the A’s going forward?

#4 How did the A’s pitching staff handle Tampa Bay’s lineup, particularly after the Rays scored seven runs through the first four innings?

#5 What can the A’s take away from the series despite the sweep, and which players—including Lawrence Butler, Zack Gelof and Carlos Cortes—gave fans the most encouraging performances?
