WEST SACRAMENTO — The San Francisco Giants’ offense is going through it right now—there’s really no other way to put it. San Francisco is 3-7 over its last 10 games, and the bats continue to show little to no signs of life. On the Fourth of July, the Giants couldn’t get much going against the Sacramento A’s, falling 11-2 at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park.

Offensively, the Giants were abysmal again. They were in danger of being shut out until a solo home run to center field by Bret Wisely in the eighth inning. Wisely, a late substitution, jumped on a 1-0 fastball and launched it 415 feet to straightaway center to get the Giants on the board. San Francisco managed just six hits in the game and scored one other run on a Nick Kurtz error.

The Giants’ pitching and defense both let them down on Friday. They committed three errors, which didn’t help their chances, but even from the start, the pitching staff struggled to keep A’s hitters in check.

Justin Verlander lasted only three innings, allowing six runs on seven hits to put the Giants in an early hole. Mason Black came on in the fourth and didn’t fare much better, though he was able to eat innings. Black tossed four frames, giving up five hits and five runs—three of them earned. Ryan Walker pitched a scoreless eighth inning with two strikeouts to finish it out for San Francisco.

After taking the final two games in Arizona, the Giants looked like they may have turned a corner amid this rough stretch. But JP Sears and the A’s quickly erased any momentum San Francisco had built.

With the loss, the Giants dropped to 47-42 on the season. The A’s improved to 37-53 with the win.

The two teams will meet again Saturday night, with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m. PST. It’ll be a battle of the aces as Logan Webb (7-6, 2.61 ERA) goes for the Giants against Luis Severino (2-9, 5.09 ERA) for the A’s.

Ex MLB Pitcher Chan Ho Park investing in the Athletics

That’s Amaury News and Commentary

By Amaury Pi-González

Former Major League Baseball pitcher Chan Ho Park and Suga (Min Yoon-gi), a member of the famous K-Pop group BTS, are investing in a private equity fund led by Park’s firm, Team61. The investors are joining a group of investors backing the Athletics at a $2 billion evaluation in their bid to relocate to Las Vegas, according to multiple reports.

The private fund, valued at approximately $70 million, plans to acquire 2-3 percent of newly issued Athletics shares to support the team’s effort for a new stadium in Las Vegas. Joining Suga and Park in the investment fund are other notable figures, including Lee Man-deuk of Samchully Co. and Mike Joo, COO of Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s investment banking division.

Suga, who recently completed his mandatory military service and is known for his philanthropic efforts—including a ₩5 billion (approximately $3.6 million) donation to Severance Hospital in Seoul—is expected to bring cultural cachet and global branding power to the A’s as they prepare for their Las Vegas debut.

Suga has traveled the world with the popular Korean group K-Pop, including the last few years at the Oakland Coliseum for concerts. Chan Ho Park pitched for 17 seasons in the MLB, winning 124 games and accumulating 1,715 strikeouts.

Park was the first Korean pitcher in the major leagues, beginning his career with the Dodgers from 1994 to 2001, then pitching for the Padres, Mets, Phillies, Yankees, and Pirates. He aims to enhance the Athletics’ involvement in Asian baseball, an influence that could benefit the team as they prepare to enter their new era in Las Vegas.

The two most popular sports in Korea are baseball and football(soccer). Baseball is the most attended spectator sport. The KBO League is a major draw as the top league in baseball, boasting high attendance and a strong following.

An interesting move for the A’s as they attempt to gain influence and eventually recruit talent for their system within the Asian baseball market. Currently, the Dodgers have the top two Japanese stars in MLB, leading the way in Japan with the two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani and pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

San Francisco’s Robbie Ray Pitches a Complete Game Beating Arizona 7-2

By Barbara Mason

Game four in the series between the San Francisco Giants (47-41) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (43-44) ended up with each team winning two games for a series tie 2-2.

San Francisco pitcher Robbie Ray was lights out pitching into the ninth something the Giants don’t see very often. He was simply amazing allowing three hits, two earned runs, one walk and seven strikeouts. The Giants offense was excellent with 12 hits while Arizona only had three hits.

Game recap: San Francisco got this game underway in a repeat of Wednesday’s game scoring two runs in the first inning. Heliot Ramos got the game off to a great start hitting a double driving Willy Adames home for a 1-0 lead. Jung Hoo Lee who had a dynamite game Wednesday also got a nice start in game four Thursday sacrificing Rafael Devers home for the 2-0 lead.

The Giants would add two more runs in the third inning taking a 4-0 lead. Adames doubled driving Mike Yastrzemski home and San Francisco again had a terrific start in this game. Giant’s pitcher Ray was plowing through the Diamondbacks. Arizona went three and out in the first four innings and did not have a single hit until the fifth inning.

Arizona finally got up on the scoreboard in the fifth with their first hit of the game. It was a good one too, a solo home run to left but trailing 4-1 they still had a lot of work to do considering they were really struggling offensively. Much of their struggle at the plate had everything to do with the work on the mound from Ray. After the home run the Diamondbacks went three and out.

The Giants would score a couple more runs in the seventh inning taking a significant lead 6-1. Rafael Devers delivered the blow with a double that scored two runners, Andrew Knizner and Adames. Arizona’s Lourdes Gurriel Jr doubled in the bottom of the seventh but that would be all for the Diamondbacks.

The game went into the ninth inning with San Francisco still leading 6-1. The Giants had three singles in a row in the inning where they loaded the bases and with only one out, and another run was on the horizon. Devers sacrificed Knizner home extending the Giants lead 7-1.

Arizona hit their second home run of the game another solo shot but still trailed 7-2 with one out.Ray took care of business and that was the ballgame with San Francisco tying the series winning this game 7-1. This was Ray’s second complete game of his career in a most impressive outing.

San Francisco broke out of their offensive slump in Wednesday’s game and carried it into Thursday night’s game. They had 12 hits while the Diamondbacks only had three hits thanks to the brilliance of Ray. Mike Yastrzemski and Adames had three hits apiece. The Giants had scored in four innings.

Game notes: After winning a tight extra-innings game Wednesday night 6-5, the Giants beat the Diamondbacks in the final game of the series Thursday. San Francisco had a 5-2 lead going into the bottom of the eighth inning Wednesday night but let the Diamondbacks back into the game with two runs in the top of the ninth inning.

Arizona scored two runs in the ninth inning tying the game 5-5 forcing extra innings. The Giants eventually won the game in the tenth inning 6-5. The Giants win Thursday night and tied the series 2-2 as they head out to Sacramento for a series with the Sacramento Athletics Friday.

The Giants will send Justin Verlander to the mound as he continues to look for his first win this season. He has a 0-5 win/loss record and a 4.26 ERA. The A’s will start JP Sears who comes into the game with a 6-7 win/loss record and a 5.09 ERA. First pitch for this game is scheduled for 7:05 PM. San Francisco is on an offensive roll right now and will be looking to take that confidence into Sacramento.

A’s game wrap: Late Lightning Fizzles as Sacramento Falls in Tampa 6-5

Late Lightning Fizzles as Sacramento Falls in Tampa 6-5

By Mauricio Segura

The A’s once again took their fight to the ninth inning, but heroics came up just short. In a wild Wednesday matinee, the Sacramento Athletics fell 6-5 to the Tampa Bay Rays, unable to fully erase a four-run deficit built during a disastrous sixth inning.

Sacramento got the jump early. Brent Rooker stayed scorching in day games, sending a solo homer into the Tampa sun in the first inning, his 18th of the year. Max Schuemann added a solo shot in the second, and Mitch Spence looked in control through five, scattering three hits while holding the Rays to a single run, a rare inside-the-park homer from Jake Mangum.

But the sixth inning unraveled fast for the green and gold. Spence, who entered the frame having allowed just one run, was tagged for five, including back-to-back homers by Josh Lowe and Yandy Díaz. A pitching change to Hogan Harris did little to slow Tampa’s momentum. Junior Caminero doubled, Chandler Simpson and Matt Thaiss followed with RBI singles, and just like that, a 2-1 lead became a 6-2 hole.

Still, these A’s have built a reputation for late-inning theatrics. Max Muncy jolted the dugout with a solo homer in the ninth, his seventh of the season. Austin Wynns followed with a double, and Gio Urshela drove him in. Suddenly, the bases were buzzing after singles by Max Schuemann, pinch-hitter Lawrence Butler, and Tyler Soderstrom, cutting the deficit to 6-5.

With the tying run 90 feet away and the go-ahead at second, Sacramento handed the bat to Brent Rooker. He had already homered once. He had also struck out twice. This time, it was more heartbreak than heroics. Rooker whiffed on a high fastball. Nick Kurtz followed, and despite his impressive rookie campaign, he couldn’t connect either, going down swinging to end the rally.

The loss snapped the A’s brief two-game win streak and dropped them to 36-53 on the season. Still, if there’s a silver lining, it’s the team’s continued fire in the late innings. Sacramento has now scored 56 runs in the ninth or later, fifth most in the majors. And their recent offensive struggles may be easing, with the team stringing together multi-hit innings and showcasing the kind of lineup depth they’ve lacked for much of the season.

Sacramento returns home for a nine-game stretch, starting with a Fourth of July showdown against the rival Giants. With JP Sears set to take the mound Friday and the Bay Bridge rivalry heating up, there’s little time to dwell on missed chances.

The San Francisco Giants (46-41) got a great start in game three of their four-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks (43-43). The Giants first at bat in the game Mike Yastrzemski hit a solo home run and the Giants would finish with nine hits beating Arizona 5-3 Wednesday. Jung Hoo Lee had a great game with a single, double and triple in five at-bats.

Game recap: The Giants could not have gotten this game going any better than they did in this one. In the games first at bat Yastrzemski knocked the ball out of the park, a shot to right center and San Francisco was on the board 1-0. Lee came to the plate and tripled driving Wilmer Flores home extending their lead to 2-0. The Giants had two hits in the inning as well as a walk.

The Giants scored another insurance run in the top of the fifth inning. Brett Wisely doubled and Rafael Devers singled him home for a 3-0 lead. Through five innings the Giants had five hits and Lee was having a great game with a triple and a double.

This game took an ugly turn when Arizona’s Alek Thomas hit a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth inning and the DIamondbacks were on the board 3-1. San Francisco pitcher Landon Roupp had a rough inning with back-to-back walks and a Ketel Marte single loading the bases. Roupp was relieved by Erik Miller who got the Giants out of the inning but did give up a run and it was now a one-run game 3-2.

The Giants got out of the seventh inning with two Arizona runners on base and no outs. They took the 3-2 lead into the top of the eighth inning looking to push the lead out with some insurance runs.

Lee had his third hit of the game, a single. Lee advanced to second base on a walk and San Francisco had two runners on base with one out. Patrick Bailey singled Lee home and the Giants had that insurance run now leading 4-2 and were looking for more with two runners still on base and one out.

Wisely accommodated with a single; Luis Matos scored and San Francisco was in good shape with another insurance run leading 5-2. The Diamondback’s scored one run in the eighth inning but trailing 5-3 they were down to their last three outs.

Camilo Duval would take the mound looking to close out this game for the Giants. When it was looking so very good for San Francisco Duval gave up a home run to Ketel Marte with Geraldo Perdomo on base and this game was tied 5-5. Arizona could not get the walk-off and the game went into extra innings.

Heliot Ramos singled in the tenth inning and San Francisco had runners at first and third with no outs. Lee who was the second base runner scored on a Bailey sacrifice and the Giants took a 6-5 lead going into the bottom of the tenth inning.

The Diamondbacks had a runner on third base but could not bring him home and that was the ball game with the Giants coming out on top 6-5. After leading for the entire game, the Giants got it done although it took ten innings to do it.

Game notes: Wednesday evening the Giants completed their series with the Diamondbacks with the final game of the series Wednesday evening winning 6-5 at Chase Field. San Francisco dropped the first two games of the series losing game one 4-2 and going on to lose game two after leading 2-0 early in the game.

The Diamondbacks scored in four consecutive innings hitting four home runs to win the game 8-2. After scoring the two runs, the Giants did not score for the rest of the game, in fact after the third inning, the San Francisco offense went stagnant. They were able to get the offense going in Wednesday night’sgame although they have been struggling for awhile now.

Thursday the Giants will be looking to tie up this series in game four. Robbie Ray will take the mound for San Francisco with a 8-3 win/loss record and a 2.75 ERA. The Diamondbacks will start Brandon Pfaadt who comes into this game with a 8-5 win/loss record and a 5.38 ERA. First pitch for this game is scheduled for 6:40 PM.

Sacramento A’s podcast Jeremiah Salmonson:

#1 Tampa Bay Rays Josh Lowe, Yandy Diaz, and rookie Jake Mangum all hit a home run. Pitcher Ryan Pepiot pitched a quality start that contributed to beating the A’s 6-5 avoiding getting swept on Wednesday.

#2 The Rays down 2-1 in the last of the sixth inning, the Rays were able to score five runs. Josh Lowe hit a leadoff home run to tie up the game and Brandon Lowe came up and hit a double that extended his 18 game hitting streak. Diaz hit a two home run that gave the Rays the lead.

#3 Pepiot improved his record to 6-6 going six innings, allowing four hits, two runs, waked three and struckout nine. The Rays pitching was just good enough to get by Sacramento for the one run win.

#4 The A’s Brent Rooker and Max Schuemann hit solo home runs but it was a day late a dollar short in the A’s one run loss.

#5 The A’s are back in Sacramento to open a three game series with the San Francisco Giants. The Giants have not announced a starter and the A’s will start LHP JP Series (6-7 ERA 5.09) first pitch 7:05pm PT Friday night.

#2 Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Henry Davis knocked in the game’s only run on Tuesday night to defeat the St Louis Cardinals 1-0 and also defeated the Cardinals 5-0 on Wednesday night. Pirates starter Paul Skenes has not had a winning decision in six starts. Just the same Skenes and the Pirates will take the win.

#3 Cardinals have scratched first baseman Wilson Contreras and third baseman Nolan Areando from Wednesday’s game versus the Pirates. Contreras injured his left hand and is suffering a contusion when he got hit by Pirates starter Paul Skenes. Arenado was injured with jammed right middle finger and has missed two games in a row.

Sacramento A’s podcast Michael Roberson: A’s rolling with two straight wins and four of last six game wins

Sacramento A’s hitter Colby Thomas slugs a double in the top of the fourth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays at George M Steinbrenner Field in Tampa Bay on Tue Jul 1, 2025 (AP News photo)

Sacramento A’s podcast Michael Roberson:

#1 It took a few home runs, a few heart-pounding moments, and one dramatic finish for the Sacramento Athletics to fight their way to a 4-3 win in extra innings Tuesday night against the Tampa Bay Rays.

#2 Fueled by a pair of long balls from Shea Langeliers and a late-game lockdown from flamethrower Mason Miller, the Green and Gold secured their second straight road victory and once again showed why they can’t be counted out after nine innings.

#3 The action began early but quietly for the A’s. Lawrence Butler led off with a single, stole third, and watched helplessly as the middle of the lineup went down on strikes. 

#4 It wasn’t the cleanest win of the year for the Sacramento A’s, but it was one of the grittiest. With Langeliers’ power surge, Miller’s muscle, and just enough help from the rest of the lineup, the A’s keep showing glimpses of the kind of fight that stats and standings can’t quite measure.

#5 A’s and Rays continue this series Wednesday at 12:10pm PT at George M Steinbrenner Field in Tampa Bay. Starting pitcher for the A’s RHP Mitch Spence (2-3 ERA 3.82) for the Rays RHP Ryan Pepiot (5-6 ERA 3.36).
