Sacramento A’s podcast Jeremiah Salmonson:

#1 Nick Kurtz is one of three A’s now to have hit 30 home runs joining former A’s Bash Brothers Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco. Quite an accomplishment for someone who just joined the A’s two months after the season had started.

#2 The A’s were coming off two tough loses against the Boston Red Sox losing by shutout scores of 7-0 and 6-0 Monday and Tuesday back with a 5-4 win on Wednesday.

#3 Jeremiah talk about Lawrence Butler and his walk off home run that won it for the A’s and ended Boston Red Sox pitcher Aroldis Chapman’s seven week hitless streak?

#4 Kurtz is on a roll he now becomes the 32nd rookie to hit 30 home runs as a rookie. Canseco did it in 1986 with 33 home runs and McGwire did it with 49 in 1987.

#5 Lets see if that win can inspire the A’s as they open a series against the Cincinnati Reds at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento Friday night. Starting pitcher for the Reds RHP Brady Singer (13-9 ERA 3.98) starting pitcher for the A’s has not been announced yet by manager Mark Kotsay.

San Francisco Giants game wrap: Seymour struggles early, and Giants fall short of sweep in 5-3 loss to Diamondbacks

Oracle Park

San Francisco, California

Arizona Diamondbacks 5 (73-74)

San Francisco Giants 3 (74-72)

Win: Eduardo Rodriguez (9-8)

Loss: Carson Seymour (1-3)

Time: 2:48

Attendance: 33,810

By Stephen Ruderman

SAN FRANCISCO–Carson Seymour didn’t make it out of the second inning, as the Diamondbacks tagged him for four runs, and though the Giants made a game of it late, Arizona held on for a 5-3 win to salvage a game in this series on Wednesday.

The Giants have won 13 of their last 16 games. After another big win Tuesday night, which put the Giants just two games back of the Mets for the third wild card in the National League, the Giants had a chance at a sweep of the Diamondbacks on a peaceful, mostly-cloudy afternoon under the monsoonal skies at Oracle Park.

Carson Seymour would be tasked with the start on Wednesday. Seymour was coming off his first major league win in St. Louis last Friday, in which he allowed just a run and two hits over five innings. Unfortunately, Seymour’s outing would be much different, and last nowhere near as long.

Geraldo Perdomo led off the game with a home run to right field to give the Diamondbacks an early 1-0 lead. While that would be the only run Arizona would get in the top of the first inning, things got rapidly worse for Seymour in the top of the second.

Blaze Alexander and Alek Thomas each got base-hits to start the inning. The Diamondbacks had runners at the corners with nobody out for Tim Tawa, who lined a base-hit to left to make it 2-0. Jake McCarthy sacrificed the runners over to second and third base, and after Perdomo knocked in a run with a base-hit to right, Seymour was done.

Spencer Bivens was brought in to steady the tide, just as he has many times this season. Katel Marte knocked in Tawa with a sacrifice fly to make it 4-0, and walks to Corbin Carroll and Gabriel Moreno loaded the bases. The Diamondbacks were about to make it a laugher early, Bivens got Adrian Del Castillo to ground out to second, and the score stayed 4-0.

The good news was that there was plenty of time for the Giants to come back, and they were down 3-0 in the second inning on Monday. However, the bad news was that Diamondbacks’ starter Eduardo Rodriguez was dealing.

Rodriguez took a no-hitter into the fifth inning. Matt Chapman finally broke it up with a doink single to left with one out in the bottom of the fifth, but the Giants were unable to make anything of it.

Bivens got the Giants through the top of the fifth, but the Diamondbacks touched Keaton Winn for a run in the top of the sixth to make it 5-0.

The Giants finally got something going in the bottom of the seventh. Willy Adames walked to lead off the inning, and Matt Chapman singled him over to third. After Wilmer Flores popped out, Rodgriguez was lifted for Jake Woodford.

Unfortunately, Casey Schmitt struck out swinging. To make things worse, when Chapman took off for second on the pitch, Willy Adames was caught in a rundown between third and home plate, and was tagged out to end the inning. The Giants came up empty, and it seemed like it was not going to be their day.

However, the Giants still didn’t give up. JT Brubaker threw a one, two, three inning in the top of the eighth, and while Woodford retired the first two men he faced in the bottom of the eighth, the Giants had some two-out feistiness in them. Patrick Bailey and Heltiot Ramos each got base-hits, and Torey Lovullo brought in the left-hander, Andrew Saalfrank, to face Rafael Devers.

Devers drove one deep to right-center field that hit off the 24-foot-high brick wall above Triple’s Alley. In almost every other ballpark in baseball, it would have been a three-run home run, but here at Oracle Park, it would only be a two-run double. That would prove to be costly, as the score would remain 5-2 going to the ninth.

Jose Butto pitched through a jam for a scoreless top of the ninth, but the Giants still fought until the very end. Chapman walked to lead off the bottom of the ninth, and Schmitt doubled him to third with one out.

The tying run in Jung Hoo Lee now came to the plate, but he grounded out to second for the second out. While Chapman came in to score to make it 5-3, Luis Matos grounded out to short to end, and the Diamondbacks held on to win it.

Eduargo Rodriguez got the win, and Carson Seymour took the loss.

The Giants fall to 74-72, and now all eyes will turn to Philadelphia, where the Phillies take on the Mets for the third game of a four-game series. As of this very second, the Giants are two and a half games behind the Mets for the third wild card spot in the National League.

The Giants will have a day off Thursday, and then their hated rivals from down south, the Los Angeles Dodgers, will come in for a massive three-game series starting Friday night.

RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto (11-8 ERA 2.72) will start for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Justin Verlander (3-10, 4.10 ERA) will start the opener for the Giants Friday night.

First pitch will be at 7:15 p.m.

A’s Walk Off Red Sox 5-4 to Avoid Sweep

By Jeremiah Salmonson

WEST SACRAMENTO — The A’s avoided being swept at the hands of the Red Sox during a matinee affair on Wednesday, defeating the Red Sox 5-4 in walk-off fashion.

The A’s bats did just enough of everything during the getaway day game to emerge victorious.

Shea Langeliers, who had the day off behind the plate but was in the lineup as the DH, got the A’s going in the first inning with a solo home run to put the A’s up 1-0.

The Red Sox scored in the second inning, but the A’s answered right back thanks to a Nick Kurtz solo home run to left field to reclaim the lead 2-1.

The Red Sox came back with solo runs in both the third and fourth innings to take a 3-2 lead over the A’s.

In the fifth inning, the A’s were able to answer back once more and take the lead again from Boston. This time, it was Tyler Soderstrom who came through, driving an opposite-field two-RBI double to left field to give the A’s the 4-3 lead.

Mason Barnett, making his third major league start on Wednesday, labored but still managed to give the A’s three and two-thirds innings of three-run, seven-hit baseball. Barnett walked just one and struck out four but was hit around whenever he left pitches in the zone.

The A’s bullpen, which has been stellar as of late, continued to pitch well until late in the game when they finally surrendered the lead.

Sean Newcomb was the first arm out of the pen for the A’s as he got the last batter of the fourth inning and then pitched spotless fifth and sixth innings.

Justin Sterner followed and pitched two perfect innings in the seventh and eighth to keep the A’s in front.

After the game, manager Mark Kotsay spoke about the dominance of the bullpen in the second half.

“These two relievers you’re talking about, Newcomb and Sterner, in the second half have been a large portion of the success and rhythm that has taken place down in the bullpen.”

Trouble came in the ninth inning when Elvis Alvarado gave up a run on two hits, recording only one out. Hogan Harris, who had been warming in the bullpen all inning just in case, came in and recorded the final two outs of the ninth, giving up a walk but nothing else.

The A’s came into the bottom of the ninth tied 4-4, needing a run to win. The Red Sox brought in Aroldis Chapman, who hadn’t allowed a hit since July 23, to try to keep the game tied. Shea Langeliers led off the ninth with a double to snap that streak for Chapman and was then moved over to third by a Brent Rooker fly ball to right field.

That set the stage for Lawrence Butler, who stepped up and drove an RBI single the other way to give the A’s the dramatic 5-4 win in nine innings.

Up Next

The A’s will have an off day on Thursday in Sacramento prior to welcoming the Cincinnati Reds to town. Neither team has announced a starter for Friday’s game, scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at Sutter Health Park.

Red Sox Roll Past A’s 6-0 to Secure Series Win

By Jeremiah Salmonson

WEST SACRAMENTO — The Red Sox finalized a series victory over the Athletics on Tuesday in a 6-0 win over the A’s at Sutter Health Park.

In what has become commonplace this season for A’s starter Jeffrey Springs, he gave up runs in the first inning as the game got out of hand early.

The Red Sox jumped all over Springs in the first inning as he wasn’t able to get an out until the fifth batter he faced. By that time, it was already a 4-0 Red Sox lead thanks to two home runs. However, Springs was able to give a little length as he managed to go five innings in the game. By the end of the outing, Springs gave up five runs on eight hits while giving up two home runs.

Mark Kotsay spoke to the early inning issues that Springs has faced after the game.

“For Jeffrey, I think early on [in the season] there was some struggle in the first inning and we overcame that. So I think again, it’s a matter of him getting out there, executing better in the first inning.”

The A’s bullpen came in and pitched well after the departure of Springs.

Tyler Ferguson came in and pitched the sixth inning without allowing any runs or hits. Jose Alvarado came in for the seventh inning and pitched a clean inning other than a walk. The trouble for the bullpen came when Michael Kelly came on in the eighth inning. Kelly gave up one run on one hit in the eighth. Osvaldo Bido was the last bullpen arm in the game as he tossed a scoreless ninth inning.

The A’s bats, which have gone cold against the Red Sox, did manage to put up 10 hits. However, the A’s weren’t able to cash in on any scoring opportunities. The biggest missed opportunity for the Athletics was in the fourth inning when they loaded the bases with one out and failed to score. Granted, the A’s have been facing some tough pitching but the offense has been uncharacteristically unable to score.

Mark Kotsay spoke about the offensive woes after the game.

“I mean to get shut down on back to back nights. It’s tough. Our offense has been great all year, like you said, the last time we’ve gotten shut out twice you mentioned was June and we’ve faced tough pitching,” Kotsay said after the game. “You get 10 hits and you don’t score any runs. It says a lot about our opportunities with runners in scoring position.”

Up Next

The A’s will try and avoid a sweep at the hands of the Red Sox on Wednesday at 12:35 PM at Sutter Health Park. Mason Barnett (1-1, 9.00 ERA) is slated to go for the A’s as the Red Sox have yet to announce a starter.

Adames homer and solid Ray start earn Giants series win vs. D-Backs in 5-3 win at Oracle Park

SAN FRANCISCO–Willy Adames cracked his 28th homer of the season as the Giants continue to strike early and often. Robbie Ray picked up his 11th win of the year and the Giants find themselves right in the mix of the Wild Card race in the final three weeks of the regular season beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-3.

The Giants were back in action Tuesday night at Oracle Park 2.5 games back of the last National League Wild Card spot after another Mets loss in Philadelphia. 

Robbie Ray took the ball for San Francisco at 10-6 with a 3.31 ERA and 2-0 on his career against his former team (AZ) looking for his first win since August 18.

He got through the first without a problem, striking out Ketel Marte to start the game and getting the speedy Corbin Carroll to ground into an inning-ending double play. 

In the home first, Heliot Ramos walked on a pitch right down the middle called a ball, and Rafael Devers followed in his footsteps and extended his on-base streak to 14 games. 

Willy Adames was next to bat and fouled the first pitch off of his knee, silencing the crowd in angst as they waited for the sign that he was okay. Adames, who’s slashing .333/.391/.744 with five homers, 12 RBI since August 28, has been a huge part of the Giants offensive surge the last few weeks. Losing him in a race like this would’ve fit into the storyline of the Giants season a month ago however, now things are different and going the Giants’ way. 

Luckily, Adames was okay and he proved it on the next pitch. The 0-1 offering was demolished to left field, setting off the water cannons on the arcade wall well before the ball even left the yard. Adames flipped his bat in triumph and circled the bases to a loud Oracle Park crowd, putting the Giants ahead 3-0 

The offense held out on both sides after the first as the score remained 3-0 until the bottom of the fourth when the Giants added another to their lead. Casey Schmitt flew a ball to right field just deep enough for Matt Chapman to tag and score from third, barely beating the throw from Corbin Carroll. 

The D-Backs finally had an answer and got to Ray in the fifth on back-to-back doubles scoring Tim Tawa to get on the board. After stealing third base, Jordan Lawlar scored on a sacrifice-fly by Jorge Barrosa as Arizona narrowed the deficit to two. 

The Giants responded just like the D-Backs in the home fifth when Patrick Bailey sent the first pitch of the inning into Levi’s Landing and the Giants were back ahead by three, 5-2. 

That was all the Giants needed Tuesday night as the Diamondbacks only scored one more run. 

Ray finished the night 5.0ip, 3h, 2er, 2bb, and 5k earning his 11th win of the season. 

The Giants bullpen only surrendered one run in the sixth inning, shutting the D-Backs out in the final three frames. 

Joey Lucchesi has solidified himself in the back end of the bullpen, not allowing a run in his last eight appearances (8.2ip). Ryan Walker picked up his 15th save of the year securing the Giants 5-3 win. 

Now just two games behind the Mets for the final Wild Card spot and a three game series upcoming against the Dodgers this weekend at Oracle Park, the orange and black look to make one last push and secure their spot in the 2025 postseason. 

Game three vs. Arizona will take place Wednesday afternoon at Oracle Park with LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (7-8, 5.22) vs. RHP Carson Seymour (1-2, 4.25) as the Giants go for the sweep. 

First pitch at 12:45pm.

Las Vegas Aces Squash Chicago Sky 92-61 For 15th Straight Win

Las Vegas Aces guard Jackie Young (0) is congratulated by guard Jewell Lloyd (24) and center A’Ja Wilson (22) against the Chicago Sky in the first half at T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Tue Sep 9, 2025 (AP News photo)

By Rich Perez

LAS VEGAS–The Las Vegas Aces (28-14) had a good game against the Chicago Sky (10-32) Sunday winning that game 80-66 but they turned it up quite a few notches in Tuesday night’s game beating the Sky 92-61.

Jackie Young finished the game with the team high of 15 points. Nalyssa Smith, A’Ja Wilson, and Chelsea Gray all shot in double digits. Jewell Loyd hit her 6000th shot in this game also finishing with 15 points.

She is the 16th player to achieve this milestone. Dana Evans was a great bench support shooting for 13 points. It was an amazing effort for the Aces, their 15th straight win. This was their last season game in Las Vegas. They will finish up the season taking on the Sparks in Los Angeles this Thursday.

Game recap: The Aces got after it from the get-go leading 28-14 after the first ten minutes of play. The Sky played with more energy in the second quarter outscoring the Aces 21-15. Las Vegas would take a 43-35 lead into the locker room at the half.

It had been a quiet night for Aces A’Ja Wilson who finished three quarters with 9 points. Jackie Young had the team high through three quarters with 15 points and Chelsea Gray had 10 points. A’J’a Wilson reached double digits as the clock ran out on the third quarter with 11 points. Las Vegas was on their way to delivering the final punch with a 66-46 lead going into the fourth quarter.

Mid-way through the final quarter the Aces took a 77-25 lead and this game was a done deal. Las Vegas continued to extend their lead and with under three minutes left in the game had taken a thirty-three point lead 88-55.

The Las Vegas Aces had completely smoked the Sky. Las Vegas had hit 15 shots from beyond the arc. With 15 wins in a row, the Aces are now tied for the most consecutive wins in a season. The final in this game was 92-61. With this win the Aces are in contention for the second seed in the WNBA playoffs.

Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Sparks is a huge one for the Aces. Las Vegas will clinch the second seed with a win over the Sparks giving them home-court advantage through at least the semi-finals. Las Vegas owns the tiebreaker over the second place Dream. This will be a finish that no one saw coming in the earlier games of the 2025 season.

Game notes: The Aces took on the Chicago for a second time in as many days after winning the first game between the two teams on Sunday. Las Vegas won that game 80-66. They played that game at T-Mobile Arena and will also play Tuesday night’s game at T-Mobile.

After losing to the Aces on Sunday, the Sky couldn’t adjust their game and came into this game not playing more competitively. Las Vegas made adjustments of their own. The Aces picked up their 15th straight win.

It has been an amazing run for Las Vegas and the jury is till out as to which team will be able to put that fire out if at all. It has been a magical turnaround for this team.

The Aces took on the Sky for a second time in as many days after winning the first game between the two teams on Sunday. Las Vegas won that game 80-66.

They played that game at T-Mobile Arena and will also play Tuesday night’s game at home. After losing to the Aces on Sunday, the Sky would need to adjust their game and came back playing a bit more competitively.

Las Vegas will no doubt be making adjustments of their own. The Aces got their 15th straight win. It has been an amazing run for Las Vegas and the jury is till out as to which team will be able to put that fire out if at all. It has been a magical turnaround for this team.

The Aces will now head down to Southern California to finish off their season taking on the Los Angeles Sparks. They will be in search of their 16th straight win. Tipoff for the Aces final game of the season is scheduled for 7:00 PM Thursday night. The WNBA playoffs will begin on Sunday September 14 and will conclude on or before Friday October 17 th.

That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast:

#1  Monday night Cleveland Guardian pitcher Slade Cecconi went into the eighth inning against the Kansas City Royals pitching a no hitter but Royals lead off hitter Michael Massey hit a lead off single and broke up Cecconi’s no hit bit which could have been the first one of the season. It also would have ended Cleveland’s four decade long wait for a no hitter but the wait continues.

#2 Philadelphia Phillies Trea Turner who is out with a strained hamstring for the rest of the season is expected back for post season in October. Phils manager Rob Thomson that Turner’s MRI results are better than expected and that the strain is not as bad as expected. Turner is in the third year of his 11 year $300 million contract.

#3 Milwaukee Brewers Christian Yelich is back in the line up on Monday night after he was scratched out of the line up and missed five game due to lower back pain. Yelich on Monday got one hit in four at bats in the Brewers 5-0 loss to the Texas Rangers. Yelich this season has played in 132 of the Brewers 144 games hitting .268 with 27 home runs and 92 RBIs.

#4 The Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O’Hoppe is on the seven day concussion IL after getting hit in the head by the Sacramento A’s Jacob Wilson’s backswing. The Angels Jo Adell was out of the line up due vertigo. O’Hoppe was removed after being hit in the head in Sunday’s game.

#5 Times are getting rough for the A’s after taking the first two games from the Angels on Friday and Saturday and then turning around and losing to the Angels on Sunday and getting crushed by the Boston Red Sox on Monday night 7-0 at Sutter Health Park. The hopes of getting out of the cellar are dimming for Sacramento.

San Francisco 49ers place-kicker Jake Moody (4) kicks a field goal attempt that was blocked by Seattle Seahawks during the second half of an NFL football game Sunday, Sept. 7, 2025, in Seattle.AP

SF 49ers podcast David Zizmor:

#1 The SF 49ers tight end and third stringer Jake Tonges’ fourth quarter game winning catch set the tone for what’s to come for the 49ers season?

#2 Despite the win the 49ers waived kicker Jake Moody and 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday’s game “Obviously, I was disappointed we missed two field goals,” Shanahan said. “Missed one, which is a big miss … the next one, (Julian) Love made a hell of a move … We got to clean up the operation. That one wasn’t Jake, that’s the whole operation. We got to do better.”

#3 Tight End George Kittle is out with a hamstring for a few weeks and quarterback Brock Purdy has a toe and shoulder injury. Shanahan said he was more concerned with the Purdy toe injury than the shoulder injury. Purdy could be possibly shelfed for the game in New Orleans Sunday.
