Seven Run Surge Sends Athletics Rolling Past Angels
By Mauricio Segura
The Sacramento A’s could not solve Los Angeles Angels starter Walbert Ureña for the first four innings. In fact, Ureña had a perfect game going to that point. Every batter was retired in order, and the Green and Gold found themselves chasing a 1-0 deficit after Donovan Walton’s RBI single in the fourth gave Los Angeles the early advantage. Then everything changed in one unforgettable fifth inning.
The Angels looked firmly in control behind Ureña, who cruised through the opening dozen hitters without allowing a baserunner. J.T. Ginn matched him for much of the evening, limiting the damage despite traffic on the bases and keeping the game within reach.
Ginn escaped a first-inning threat with a double play and stranded another runner at third in the third before the Angels finally scratched across the game’s first run when Walton lined a two-out single to center after Wade Meckler’s double and a passed ball.
That slim lead disappeared in dramatic fashion in the fifth as the Athletics erupted for seven runs on seven consecutive scoring opportunities. Tyler Soderstrom drew a leadoff walk before Jonah Heim reached on a force play and Lawrence Butler added another free pass.
Max Muncy broke up the perfect game with an infield single to load the bases, setting the stage for Jeff McNeil. The veteran second baseman ripped a single to right that scored Heim and Butler, giving the Athletics their first lead of the night.
The rally only gained momentum. Alika Williams followed with an RBI single that also turned into an extra base after an Angels throwing error, bringing home another run. Henry Bolte delivered a two-run single, then advanced on a disengagement violation before Nick Kurtz lined another run-scoring hit to center.
A wild pitch moved Kurtz into scoring position, and Shea Langeliers capped the outburst with an RBI single before swiping second base. By the time the inning finally ended, the Athletics had transformed a one-run deficit into a commanding 7-1 advantage.
Los Angeles answered in the bottom half of the inning when Jo Adell crushed a two-run homer to right-center, trimming the margin to four. Ginn finished five innings, allowing three runs while continuing his strong work away from home. Luis Medina followed with two scoreless strikeout-filled innings before Hogan Harris escaped a late eighth-inning jam, and Elvis Alvarado handled the ninth to complete the victory.
The Athletics were not finished scoring. Bolte reached on catcher interference to begin the seventh, stole second, and raced home when Kurtz lined another sharp single to center. Langeliers singled again before Jonah Heim drove a ground-rule double into the left-center gap, plating Kurtz and stretching the lead to 9-3. Those insurance runs removed any lingering suspense.
McNeil finished with two huge RBI in the decisive fifth, while Kurtz continued adding to his outstanding season with two hits and two RBI after entering the game among the American League leaders in RBI, walks and on-base percentage. Langeliers chipped in two hits, an RBI and a stolen base while strengthening his case as the Athletics’ lone finalist for the American League All-Star Game. Bolte reached base twice, scored once, stole a base and drove in two more runs, continuing the impressive rookie campaign that has seen him become one of baseball’s top first-year hitters.
Friday night’s win was the A’s 40th of the season and continued their strong play against the Angels. After snapping a four-game skid with an impressive comeback over San Francisco, the club carried that momentum into another division matchup with an offense that took control when they needed.
The series continues Friday as A’s starter Jack Perkins (2-3, 6.26 ERA, 57 strikeouts) looks to quiet the Angels against left-hander Reid Detmers (3-5, 3.93 ERA, 104 strikeouts), with first pitch scheduled for 6:38 p.m. Pacific.

By Lincoln Juarez
SAN FRANCISCO – Last week in Atlanta the Giants took the first two games out of three from the Braves in the same day due to inclement weather that pushed the final half of game one a day later. San Francisco swept the partial doubleheader scoring a total of 14 runs in those two games including a combined six home runs. Friday night in the city by the Bay the Braves got a hold of the Giants offense and didn’t let go, holding them to just one run which came in the first inning.
A short while past 24 hours since the Giants’ bullpen blew a ninth inning lead to the A’s, Trevor McDonald (2-5, 4.93 ERA) toed the rubber on Orange Friday at Oracle Park. McDonald held the Braves scoreless in the first but proceeded to allow a run in three of the next four innings. Atlanta had a 3-1 lead when McDonald was pulled after 5.1 innings, giving up seven hits and three earned runs. Former Giants Dom Smith and Mauricio Dubon were in on the action for Atlanta, Smith with an RBI and Dubon with two runs scored.
Three members of San Francisco’s bullpen relieved McDonald after a disastrous Thursday afternoon where they gave up seven runs across the final three innings of the game to blow a four-run lead and cost Landen Roupp his sixth win of the season.
Friday night was different and the bullpen kept the Braves scoreless after McDonald’s departure. Gage, Hentges, and Houser combined for 3.2 scoreless, one-hit innings.
With the bullpen doing their part, the Giants’ offense had countless opportunities to cash in and tie the game or even take the lead. Instead the team went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position, left nine runners on base, and failed to score after the first inning. Capped off by Luis Arraez making a poor read on a ground ball and getting thrown out at third base after his leadoff double in the first, and Willy Adames getting doubled up at first base on a shallow fly ball to center, it was a brutal night for the Giants’ offense.
The only bright spot in the batter’s box for the Orange and Black was catcher Drew Cavanaugh’s first big-league hit in his Major League debut. He went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout.
Atlanta used six pitchers, including starter Reynaldo Lopez (3-1, 3.50 ERA) to carve up the Giants’ order and secure game one to start their weekend in the Bay. Raisel Iglesias earned his 16th save of the season and Trevor McDonald fell to 2-6. Saturday night ace Logan Webb (4-5, 3.35 ERA) will try to get the Giants back in the win column against the Braves’ Bryce Elder (5-5, 3.71 ERA). First pitch at 6:05pm.

San Francisco Giants podcast Lincoln Juarez:
#1 Lincoln just wanted to get the latest from the San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer who said on the air with KNBR talk show hosts John Dickinson and Dieter Kurtenbach on Thursday that Baer said that Oracle Park is a place where everyone and anybody of any ethnic or sexual orientation is welcome. In light of what took place on Fri Jun 5th on Pride night from what you have heard are the LGBTQ community asking for an apology from the players who wrote on their caps or more than that?
#2 Baer said that the Giants have created an experience for all fans that are welcoming saying that’s a north star and that will not change. Did Larry’s KNBR kind of answer any confusion there might have been about how the players who expressed their religous expression that might have offended anyone?
#2 Baer said that ownership has a lot of trust in Buster Posey who by the way who is a part owner himself. Even after the press conference where Posey said he only wanted to answer baseball questions.
#3 Baer was asked where does Posey stand in his job as team president and Baer said the Giants have a lot of trust in Buster but does that reflect with what has happened on the field and where the Giants are in the standings.
#4 Does giving the players an option to wear either the pride hat or the regular hat give them a way out if they choose not to wear the hat.
#5 Larry didn’t take any follow up questions after addressing the pride hat issue and went onto take other questions on other subjects. Is that seen as something that he wanted to move past this subject or that was all he had to say about?

SAN FRANCISCO–The Sacramento A’s mirrored the weather at Oracle Park. They opened the game cold and slow before settling into a steady rhythm through the middle innings. Then, as the sun finally broke through in the ninth, so did their offense. The bats heated up, their focus became crystal clear, and they seized the day with a dramatic 9-6 victory over the Giants.
For six innings, the Giants looked ready to continue their recent dominance over the Athletics. Then the Green and Gold reminded everyone that they did not need to adhere to the line written in the infield dirt by their rivals or accept an easy sweep.
Trailing by one run entering the ninth inning, the Athletics erupted for four hits, a walk, a stolen base, a wild pitch, and four clutch RBI knocks to storm back for a dramatic 9-6 victory. The comeback snapped a four-game losing streak, spoiled what appeared to be a comfortable Giants afternoon, and gave the Athletics a much-needed boost as they reached the halfway point of the season.
The game opened as a pitchers’ duel between Jeffrey Springs and Landen Roupp. Neither offense could solve the starters through the first three innings, although Henry Bolte and Jeff McNeil created a few opportunities that never turned into runs. Roupp repeatedly escaped trouble by striking out Nick Kurtz twice and Shea Langeliers twice during the early frames, while Springs matched him by retiring nine of the first 11 Giants he faced.
San Francisco finally broke the scoreless tie in the fourth when Willy Adames launched a solo home run into the left-center field seats. It was the only mistake Springs made through his first four innings, and it briefly gave the Giants the upper hand.
The Athletics answered immediately in the fifth. McNeil reached after being hit earlier in the game and later singled before Alika Williams delivered one of the biggest swings of the afternoon, lining a double to left that brought McNeil home to even the score. Moments later, Nick Kurtz hit a ground ball that produced a force play but still allowed Williams to cross the plate, putting the Athletics ahead, 2-1.
Williams continued to make an impact after replacing the injured Zack Gelof before the game. His RBI double ignited the comeback, and he later scored while adding solid defense at shortstop.
Springs carried the lead into the sixth, but everything unraveled after two outs. Bryce Eldridge drew a walk, Casey Schmitt followed with a single, and after Matt Krook entered from the bullpen, the Giants loaded the bases. Jung Hoo Lee then ripped a bases-clearing triple into center field, turning a one-run deficit into a 4-2 San Francisco advantage. Victor Bericoto followed immediately by crushing a two-run homer to center, capping a five-run inning that suddenly put the Giants in command, 6-2.
The Athletics refused to disappear.
In the seventh, McNeil and Williams reached again before Langeliers lined a two-run single into center, trimming the deficit to 6-4. An inning later, Lawrence Butler doubled and eventually scored when McNeil lined another single into right, bringing the Athletics within one run entering the final inning.
Then came the decisive rally.
Henry Bolte opened the ninth with a single and advanced on a wild pitch. After Kurtz struck out, Langeliers hit a grounder that moved Bolte no farther, leaving the Athletics down to their final out after Tyler Soderstrom earned a walk following a successful challenge.
Jonah Heim answered with the biggest hit of his afternoon, sending a ground-ball single into left to score Bolte and tie the game at six. Butler followed with another sharp single that scored Soderstrom and suddenly flipped the scoreboard in the Athletics’ favor. After Butler stole second, Max Muncy delivered the knockout punch with a two-run single to left, bringing home Heim and Butler to complete a breathtaking seven-run swing from the sixth inning onward.
Bolte quietly fueled the offense all afternoon with three hits and strong defense in center field. McNeil also collected three hits and scored twice while driving home a run. Williams finished with two hits and two runs scored, Butler contributed two hits, two RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base, Heim delivered the game-tying RBI single, Langeliers drove in two, and Muncy’s late two-run hit provided valuable breathing room. Soderstrom added three hits and reached base four times.
Mason Barnett handled the ninth with authority, striking out Victor Bericoto before retiring Eric Haase and Drew Gilbert to seal the comeback.
The victory carried extra significance for an Athletics club that had dropped 10 of its previous 12 meetings against the Giants and entered the afternoon having scored two runs or fewer in three of its previous four games. Instead of another frustrating finish, the Green and Gold authored one of their most memorable rallies of the season.
Next up, the Athletics head south to face the Angels, where right-hander J.T. Ginn (5-4, 3.16 ERA, 74 strikeouts) is expected to oppose Los Angeles right-hander Walbert Ureña (5-5, 2.41 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 6:38 p.m. Pacific as the Athletics look to carry their comeback momentum into a new series.

#1 Although the Sacramento A’s are just up the road it really doesn’t feel quite the same without these two clubs meeting as former Bay Area rivals.
#2 The A’s are just a year and half away from moving to Las Vegas you would think from the pure business stand point and economic aspect that having two baseball teams in the Bay Area would have benefited the San Francisco Giants rather than the Giants just having a corner of the market to themselves.
#3 The A’s are a fun team to watch Nick Kurtz is going to be an All Star he can be on track to be a Hall of Famer if he can keep his numbers up through his career.
#4 The match up of pitchers on Wednesday saw a pitching duel between A’s starter Gage Jump and Giants starter Landen Roupp which ended up with the Giants coming back after trailing 1-0 with home runs from Rafeal Devers and Victor Bericoto for the 2-1 win.

SAN FRANCISCO – The Giants’ two homers in the ninth to tie and win the game earned them their 25th walk-off win since the start of the 2024 season, which is second-most in MLB over that span. Tyler Mahle came off the IL in unambiguous fashion to set the tone for a 2-1 pitchers’ duel.
Amid the disappointment and anguish surrounding the San Francisco Giants this final week of June with the team sitting 14 games under .500, there was a baseball game to be played at the corner of Third and King and an opportunity for the Orange and Black to win just their third series of the month. Despite fans lashing back at the organization, a large crowd of 37,526 settled in for game two between the A’s and the Giants.
In his first major league start since May 26th, in a loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, Tyler Mahle toed the rubber after rehabbing from a left hamstring strain. The Giants didn’t expect anything like Robbie Ray’s eight innings of one-run ball on Tuesday night and would’ve been content with three-to-four innings from Mahle. The right-hander exceeded expectations while on a 75-max pitch count and got one out shy of making it through six, shut-out innings. He only allowed two hits while striking out four through 5.2 innings.
“He sure made it hard on the coaching staff…I didn’t think we were going to get there to that spot, to where his pitch count was 75 and you get to Kurtz… he was phenomenal,” said Vitello. “I’ve seen this before, and this is more of a conspiracy theory out of me, I’ve seen that pitch count thing bring out the best in pitchers… every pitcher wants to stay out there as long as possible… he was just really really efficient and he attacked like crazy.”
The Giants’ manager couldn’t have asked for much more from the 31 year-old whose only win this season came at home. He wouldn’t qualify for Wednesday’s win as he left the ballgame with a 0-0 score but still felt satisfied with his return from the IL.
“I just felt good, I was working well with Haase back there, defense made some outstanding plays… I was making good pitches and Haase was calling some good pitches.”
The defense described by Mahle came from all over the field with a L4, E4, 7-2 put-out all in one play to keep the game scoreless with Victor Bericoto completing the odd put-out with a bullet of a throw from left field to nail Jacob Wilson at home. Jung Hoo Lee continued to make his All-Star bid with spectacular defense in right field as he made two incredible catches on his way to a collision with the wall, once in the fourth and again in the ninth to keep the Giants within a run.
Left-hander Sam Hentges came in and finished the sixth inning for Mahle recording the final out on just one pitch. The Giants’ bullpen threw a combined 3.1 innings with three strikeouts while allowing a lone hit which was a Max Muncy homer (5) in the eighth.
After being shut-out through the first eight innings by A’s starter Gage Jump (5.0 IP, 3H, BB, 9K) and members of the Athletics’ bullpen, Rafeal Devers stepped up to lead off the bottom of the ninth with the Giants trailing by one. Devers has been a hot name thrown around in the media since Sunday’s game in Miami where most took his childish plea to stay out on the bases in a one-run game in the ninth inning as a sign of disrespect toward Tony Vitello and the rest of the San Francisco coaching staff.
Devers didn’t see it as such and went on to tell the media Tuesday afternoon that it was a misunderstanding and blown out of proportion. That response to the situation was not taken well. With something to prove and the anticipation for him to return to his “Boston-self”, Devers struck a 99 mph fastball 416 feet over the center field fence to tie the game. The Oracle Park crowd erupted and proceeded to think that every other ball put in play the rest of the ninth was also going over the fence for a game-winner. Two flyouts later, the crowd got what they wished for when Victor Bericoto walked out of the batter’s box and threw his bat in excitement as he watched his 445 foot bomb leave the yard for a Giants win.
It was his first walk-off hit, RBI, and home run of his young career and the second walk-off homer by a Giants rookie this season (Bryce Eldridge on June 10). The Giants are now 10-2 over their last 12 games vs. the A’s going back to August 18, 2024 and 11-3 against them at Oracle Park since the start of the 2021 season.
Giants’ RHP Landen Roupp (5-7 ERA 4.15) will try to make it three in a row with a sweep of the A’s Thursday afternoon against LHP Jeffrey Springs (3-7 ERA 5.55) at 12:45pm at Oracle Park.

San Francisco Giants podcast Augie Messburg:
#1 Lincoln, did all the issues stemming from all the national attention the San Francisco Giants have been getting regarding three Giants pitchers writing Gen 9:12-16 on their caps to Rafael Devers refusing to leave Sunday’s game for pinch runner.
#2 The subject of the Pride hats and the Commissioner of baseball was brought up and the pressure that it brought on Rob Manfred when Sen Hawley wrote to Manfred saying the players should not be disciplined for writing on their caps.
#3 During the Tuesday press conference Posey was asked numerous times about players writing on their caps and what message does that send to the LGBTQ community and about the Commissioner saying the players have the option to wear the Rainbow hat or not. Posey insisted that he would not answer those questions and would only answer baseball related questions.
#4 Some in the LGBTQ community said that the writing of the scriptures targeted them for hate and that the Giants should admit to their mistakes in allowing the three pitchers to write on their caps. Sen Hawley said he would threaten baseball’s anti trust exemption and said it was discrimination against MLB players who profess their Christian faith.
#5 Posey was asked if the Giants will be sellers before the July trade deadline. Posey answered saying he hasn’t got that far yet and is still looking the team over but is open to see what other clubs wants and offers are.
