That’s Amuary News and Commentary podcast:

#1 Philadelphia Phillies ghost runner Brandon Marsh scored the winning run on catcher’s interference in the bottom of the tenth inning with the bases loaded in a Phillies walk off win over the Boston Red Sox. In the tenth the Phils Edmundo Sosa checked his swing on Red Sox pitch from Jordan Hicks that was a ball but Sosa’s bat caught Sox catcher Carlos Narvaez. The Phillies asked for a review which showed the interference that allowed Marsh to score from third.

#2 The Arizona Diamondbacks Eugenio Suarez belted his fifth home run in his last three games, hitting a solo shot against the Houston Astros on Monday night. Suarez 34 years old hit his 35th home run and taking on the opposition when he gets the opportunity.

#3  Los Angeles Dodgers Freddie Freeman took an 88 MHP sinker off his left wrist Sunday. Freeman’s X-rays came back negative. The swelling on the wrist subsided. On Monday Freeman was back in the lineup and was back in the batting cage taking batting practice.

#4 Sacramento A’s centerfielder Denzel Clarke will be placed on the injured list after suffering from an adductor strain. A’s manager Mark Kotsay said that a roster move will be made on Tuesday. Kotsay said the A’s weren’t able to get a replacement to Texas in time for the game on Monday night. Clarke left the game on Sunday night with hip discomfort. Clarke hit .230 through 47 games.

#5 The A’s are shopping pitcher Luis Severino, Jefferey Springs, and JP Sears. Springs will be owed $10.5 million in 2026 and has a $15 million option for 2027. Severino has expressed that he was not happy pitching at Sutter Health Field in Sacramento because the dirt on the mound was too hard and the dugout didn’t go the clubhouse but you had to go through the outfield to get to the clubhouse. Sears does give up the long ball but clubs could use him as he is durable.

Oakland A’s podcast with Daniel Dullum: A’s have trouble holding leads; MLB teams shopping for Montas

Oakland A’s centerfielder Ramon Luareano can’t reach a ball hit by the Houston Astros Aledmys Diaz in the top of the fifth inning at the Oakland Coliseum on Fri Jul 8, 2022 (AP News photo)

On the A’s podcast with Daniel:

#1 The Oakland A’s (28-57) lost their second game in their last four games on Friday night at the Coliseum dropping an 8-3 decision. The A’s got out to a 2-0 but couldn’t hold back the Houston Astros (55-28) who scored three runs in the top of the fourth and fifth innings.

#2 The A’s also faced some great pitching from Astros starter Jose Urquidy pitching eight innings giving up three runs all earned and four hits. Also Astros manager Dusty Baker showed all the confidence in Urquidy letting him go eight innings and confidence in his line up to catch up on the struggling A’s.

#3 he Oakland Athletics traded catcher/infielder Christian Bethancourt to the Tampa Bay Rays for minor league right-handed pitcher Christian Fernandez and minor league outfielder Cal Stevenson, the club announced today.

#4 Who will the A’s send to the All Star game in LA on July 18th? They have two young prospects who represent them at the Futures game catcher Shea Langeliers and outfielder Denzel Clarke. Langeliers is hitting .271, 71 hits, 14 home runs, and 40 RBIs in the A’s triple A affiliate Las Vegas. Clarke is hitting .279, with 57 hits, nine home runs, and 32 RBIs.

#5 Oakland A’s number one pitcher Frankie Montas will miss his next start due to shoulder inflammation he exited last Sunday’s game in Seattle and was supposed to start either yesterday or today. He did get a cortisone shot after getting an MRI last Wednesday. He’s the go to pitcher on the A’s staff will his shoulder inflammation hamper his trade status before this month’s trade deadline?
