Sacramento A’s podcast Barbara Mason:

#1 Lawrence Butler drove in two runs early for the A’s Sunday. What was the situation that led to Butler’s two-run hit in the first inning?

#2 Brian Serven hit a two-run home run in the third inning. How did his homer affect the A’s lead at that point?

#3 Jeff McNeil doubled in a run in the second inning. What did that hit give the A’s in terms of momentum against Orioles starter Chris Bassitt?

#4 Jeffrey Springs started on the mound for the A’s. What happened after he allowed Coby Mayo’s three-run homer and Gunnar Henderson’s second home run?

#5 The A’s open up a three game set to start the road trip in Arlington against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field on Monday night. Starting pitchers for Sacramento LHP Gage Jump (6-8 ERA 4.69) for Texas RHP Jacob deGrom (9-9 ERA 4.21) first pitch 5:05pm PDT.
