Sacramento A’s podcast Daniel Dullum:
#1 Sacramento A’s hitter is Carlos Cortes is in a groove on Sunday he provided more punch with a first inning two run triple that was key in the A’s 2-1 one run win over the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington to win the rubber game two games to one. With the win the A’s move back into first place in the AL West by one game on top of the Rangers.

From My Notebook: Jesús Luzardo only Major League Player born in Perú
By Amaury Pi-González
Jesus Luzardo was drafted by the Washington Nationals in the third round of the 2016 MLB draft. While the Nationals were the first team to draft and sign him, he did not make his Major League debut with them. He was traded to the Oakland Athletics in 2017, before making his MLB debut with the A’s on September 11, 2019.
He only pitched with the A’s until 2021, after being traded to the Miami Marlins. Since 2025, he has been pitching for the Philadelphia Phillies. His best season to date was 2025, when he finished with a 15-7 record and a 3.92 ERA; his 15 wins were the most among Phillies pitchers in 2025.
During the Oakland A’s fanfest in 2021, Jesús told me that although he was born in Lima, Perú, he considers himself a Venezuelan. His parents were temporarily living in Perú when he was born, but later they all moved to Venezuela, which is why, as he told me, “I consider myself Venezuelan”.
While signing autographs for fans at the A’s Fanfest in 2021 at Jack London Square in Oakland, he reminisces about his years at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where he played baseball, and said he was very sad for the events that made that High School infamous, the events of a 14th of Febraury 2018, when a shooter killed 17 (students and staff).
Nevertheless, his years at that school, from which he graduated, were happy and memorable for him, who, as he told me, were the basis for my start in baseball. The 28-year-old southpaw is 1-3 with a 6.91 earned run average in 5 starts this season, not a very good start, as huis teams is also struggling coming to the end of April.
The Phillies are in fourth place in the NL West with a 9-19 record. Luzard is a good pitcher with good stuff, including a slider, fastball/4-seam, sinker, and change, and everybody expects him to do well again, as he did in 2025, becoming one of the best left-handers in the National League and leading the Phillies in games won.

Sacramento A’s game wrap: Green and Gold Fly Home With a 2-1 One-Run Nerve Test
By Mauricio Segura
The Sacramento A’s did not exactly storm out of Texas on Sunday afternoon. They tiptoed through traffic, ducked a few falling anvils, and still somehow walked away with a 2-1 win over the Rangers. In a game that began with a first-place tie in the American League West, the Green and Gold grabbed two runs in the first inning, then spent the next eight innings protecting them like a man carrying soup across a trampoline to retain sole poscession of the top spot.
The biggest swing came early. After Nick Kurtz struck out and Shea Langeliers grounded out, Tyler Soderstrom and Brent Rooker worked back-to-back walks against Kumar Rocker. That brought up Carlos Cortes, who has been one of the hottest bats on the roster during this road trip. Cortes turned on a line drive to center field, racing all the way to third as Soderstrom and Rooker scored. Just like that, the A’s had a 2-0 lead before Texas could settle into the day.
That triple fit right into Cortes’ recent surge. Entering the game, he had gone 10-for-20 on the road trip with three homers, two doubles and five RBIs, and he kept applying pressure Sunday. He added singles in the fourth and eighth, finishing with three hits and both Athletics RBIs. For a lineup that stranded chances later, Cortes’ first-inning swing became the whole offensive meal, not just the appetizer.
J.T. Ginn did his part before leaving after an injury delay in the fourth. He opened with a ground-ball single to Brandon Nimmo, then immediately erased it with a double play off Joc Pederson’s bat. Texas threatened in the second when Josh Jung doubled, Josh Smith walked, and a balk moved both runners into scoring position. Ginn responded by striking out Danny Jansen to keep the Rangers empty-handed. He worked around another single in the third and left with a 2-0 lead after Evan Carter was hit by a pitch and stole second in the fourth.
From there, the bullpen turned the game into a long, sweaty trust exercise. Joel Kuhnel escaped the fourth. Jacob Lopez worked a clean fifth but ran into trouble in the sixth when Jung doubled and Carter’s sacrifice bunt turned into a throwing error, allowing Jung to score and cutting the lead to 2-1. When Jake Burger walked and Josh Smith reached on a bunt single, Texas had the bases loaded with nobody out and every reason to believe the game was about to flip.
Justin Sterner refused to let it happen. He struck out Jansen, struck out Sam Haggerty, and got Nimmo to line out to center. That was the game’s hinge, the moment when the Rangers had the door open and the Athletics slammed it shut with both hands. It also continued a strong bullpen stretch for the A’s, who entered the day having allowed just four runs over their previous seven games from the relief corps.
The A’s offense had chances to breathe easier but could not cash in. Langeliers doubled in the fifth and singled in the seventh. Nick Kurtz singled in the seventh, and Zack Gelof stole second as a pinch-runner in the eighth. In the ninth, Lawrence Butler singled, Darell Hernaiz moved him over with a sacrifice bunt, Kurtz was intentionally walked, and Soderstrom walked to load the bases. But Brent Rooker struck out, leaving the lead stuck at one run.
That made Jack Perkins’ finish even bigger. After Hogan Harris handled the seventh and Perkins struck out two in the eighth, the right-hander returned for the ninth with no margin for foolishness. Nimmo lined out sharply to left. Andrew McCutchen struck out swinging. Corey Seager then grounded out to Kurtz, who flipped to Perkins covering first, ending a tight win that felt more like a street fight than a clean baseball game.
Side note: Kurtz also made a little franchise history with his ninth-inning intentional walk, extending his walk streak to 16 straight games and breaking the all-time Athletics record he had shared with Topsy Hartsel, Max Bishop and Rickey Henderson.
This win did not come with fanfare, but it came with grit, bullpen nerve, and and a sprinkle of Cortes thunder. Sometimes that is all a club needs. The Green and Gold did not bury Texas. They simply outlasted them on their own turf.
The Kansas City Royals are scheduled to visit the A’s and West Sacramento on Tuesday night at Sutter Health Park starting pitcher for the Royals LHP Kris Bubic (2-1 ERA 4.80) the A’s have not announced a starter for Tuesday night yet first pitch 6:40pm PDT.

By Michael Villanueva
SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco Giants ended their series matchup with the Miami Marlins at Oracle Park for the season with a win on a cloudy Sunday afternoon in the city. The Giants had just beaten the Marlins Saturday, on April 25th, by a score of 6-2, evening the series between these two teams. Now, San Francisco leads the series 2-1 ahead of their matchups in Miami on June 19th-June 21st. The Giants beat the Marlins, 6-3, with Giants infielder Casey Schmit’s fourth home run of the season, bringing in three runs along with it in the bottom of the seventh stretch.
After losing the opener to the Miami Marlins, 9-4, the Giants would bounce back for the second game of the series and blast three home runs in that game. That game would tie the series and ultimately get the Giants’ hitting going for the next few games. San Francisco would put up 11 hits in that game as well, and also go 3-2 in their last five home games. With this win, this was the Giants’ first time since 2023 having won their home series against the Miami Marlins.
For this game, the Giants sent out RHP Landen Roupp (4-1, 2.28) to start and end the home series against the Miami Marlins. This was his sixth start of the season so far, and with just one career game under his belt against the Marlins in 2024, he threw a scoreless inning of relief for the Giants. Going on his fourth now, Roupp has won three straight starts for San Francisco and has thrown 17 strikeouts.
While the Marlins went with RHP Max Meyer (1-0, 3.96) to start the ballgame for Miami. The Miami Marlins have now completed the first half of their road trip of the season, with their finale being here at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Although the Marlins fell short Saturday against the Giants, they found some good news for their offense. With two stolen bases Saturday, the Marlins now have 31 stolen bases on the season and are just one of the two MLB clubs to have at least 30 or more (Milwaukee, 35).
The Miami Marlins Graham Pauley would get the game going with a homer and bring in two runs as well in the top of the second inning. The Marlins would hold an early 3-0 lead. Going into the bottom of the second inning, the Giants would get on the board from a throwing error by Miami’s shortstop Otto Lopez, and the score is now 3-1 heading into the third inning.
It would be solid pitching from both clubs as the score remained the same going into the sixth inning. However, what really got the Giants’ hitting going and the offense rolling was Jung Hoo Lee, who has been on an incredible hitting sequence the last few games. In fact, Lee would go 4-of-5 at bat this afternoon, and his impact and presence were vital for San Francisco’s comeback.
In the bottom of the sixth stretch, Giants Rafael Devers would get the offense going with a double on his bat, bringing in teammate Casey Schmitt to score. Then Drew Gilbert would get a single and bring in Devers for the score, and him being the tying run for the game. The crowd was back on their feet and roaring in the park as the comeback for the win was starting to happen.
With that, going into the bottom of the seventh inning. The score was still tied at 3-3 with the Giants at bat. Two runners are on base for San Francisco as Casey Schmitt walked up to the box. Schmitt would launch a 406-foot homerun and bring in three runs for the Giants as they take the lead for the first time in the afternoon, 6-3. Giants starting pitcher Landon Roupp would get subbed out during the eighth inning. The Giants would replace him with Erik Miller, and Miller would save the win, but end the game.
As Miller had no problem ending the game. Giants Roupp put Miller in a great position where Miller would only have to face off four batters for the day. So with that, the Giants’ defense pulled through and was able to get a win and close out Miami. The Giants are now 7-9 at home this season, as this would conclude the Giants’ homestands for a while.
RHP Landon Roupp would get the win and now go 5-1 with a 2.55 ERA. With Casey Schmitt’s big homer in the seventh and ultimately got the comeback win for the team, there was no doubt he would be the Player of the Game. The Giants will head east to Philadelphia, after a day off Monday, then the Giants will start off a three-game series against the Phillies on Tuesday, April 28th at Citizens Bank Ballpark, at 3:40 p.m. San Francisco won its three-game home series against Philly earlier this season, 2-1 Apr 6-8 at Oracle Park.
Starting pitchers for Tuesday for San Francisco RHP Tyler Mahle (1-3 ERA 5.26) for Philadelphia LHP Jesus Luzardo (1-3 ERA 6.91) first pitch 3:40pm PDT.

Golden State Valkyries game wrap: Valkyries quiet the Storm 78-76, Saturday Evening in the City by the Bay
By Michael Roberson
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — The Golden State Valkyries finished up the preseason with a 78-76 thrilling victory over the Seattle Storm, inside a customary sold out Chase Center.
The Valkyries got the party started with a Veronica Burton trey. The lead increased to 5 during the initial quarter, but ended with the 3-point margin from the beginning of the game, 21-18. Hip Hop sensation and rookie, Flau’jae Johnson, who the Valkyries originally drafted, grabbed 4 rebounds in the initial stanza.
In the second quarter, Seattle made a strong push, while the aforementioned rookie scored 10 points within the quarter’s timeframe. Her team also led by as many as 11 points, but settled for nine by recess, 42-33. Johnson’s second quarter explosion led her team in scoring for the entire first half. Burton topped both teams with 14 points to her credit.
The third quarter had the home team start off on a 10-0 run, rapidly erasing the 9-point halftime deficit. However, the Storm were able to hold on to the lead after three quarters, 56-54. At that point in the game, there were 15 lead changes and 8 ties.
The final 1/4 of the contest produced another strong run (9-0) by the Valkyries, and an 8-point lead. Seattle continued to fight back, resulting an additional lead change and two more ties,
When the final whistle blew, the Valkyries had weathered the storm, 78-76. The victory was greatly celebrated by yet another capacity crowd for the second year team.
Veronica Burton and Miela Sowah both tallied 14 points, to lead the way, Kaitlyn contributed 11 points to the double digit mix. The latter two scored their share from off the bench.
Seattle also had three players eclipse that plateau. Johnson scored 12 points and grabbed 4 rebounds. Zia Cooke joined her with 12 points, while Dominique Malonga put up 10 points and 5 rebounds.
In a weird circumstance of scheduling, these two teams will open their regular season against each other. The game will be in Seattle, Friday, May 8 at 7 PM PT on ION.
With another 18,064 filling the Chase Center, the Valkyries continue to be the beacon of light and fandom for the WNBA and women’s basketball in general.
The San Jose Earthquakes continue to roll with another win in a match agains the St Louis FC at Energizer Park in St Louis on Sat Apr 25, 2026 (San Jose Earthquakes X photo)
By Wiliam Espy
The San Jose Earthquakes’ dominant start to the season continued just getting by St Louis FC 3-2 on Saturday evening as they visited St. Louis, Missouri to face St. Louis City SC.
Preston Judd opened the scoring in just the eighth minute, giving the Earthquakes an early 1-0 lead with his sixth goal of the season. With that goal, Judd is just one away from tying his career high of seven, which came last season.
San Jose’s goalkeeper, Earl Edwards Jr was forced to leave the game in the 24th minute, being replaced by Daniel. Nico Tsakiris and Ronaldo Vieira also entered the match at that stage, taking the places of Jack Skahan and Jonathan Gonzalez.
Shortly after the halftime break, the game did a complete 180. St Louis’s Sergio Cordova scored in the 52nd minute and then right on the following kickoff, Marcel Hartel gave St Louis the lead with a goal in the 53rd minute, making it a 2-1 game.
Timo Werner tied things up with a successful conversion on a penalty kick in the 69th minute, before Weren scored his second of the night in the 83rd minute to give the Earthquakes a late lead. The German forward also registered an assist on Werner’s opening goal, giving him three goal contributions on the night.
The Quakes held on to win 3-2, and maintained their sole possession of first place in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the loss was detrimental for St. Louis, who now sit second-last in the Conference, ahead of only Sporting Kansas City.
The Earthquakes will return home on Tuesday for a U.S. Open Cup matchup against Minnesota United FC before returning to league play in Toronto on Saturday morning.

By Mauricio Segura
For five innings Saturday night, the Sacramento Athletics looked like a team ready to grab the wheel once again, and drive off with a clean road win. They struck first, built a three-run lead, and got a strong early outing from Jeffrey Springs. Then baseball did what baseball loves to do. It got weird, turned sideways, and reminded everyone that a lead in the third inning is not a savings account. The Texas Rangers rallied back, Josh Jung delivered the biggest swing of the night, and the A’s fell 4-3 after a game that started with promise and ended with a quiet ninth inning.
The first inning gave no hint of the early offense to come. Shea Langeliers, Nick Kurtz, and Colby Thomas all struck out in the top half, while Springs answered with a clean bottom half, retiring Brandon Nimmo, Andrew McCutchen, and Corey Seager in order. The A’s broke through in the second when Jacob Wilson ripped a sharp double to left. After Max Muncy struck out, Darell Hernaiz shot a ground-ball single into left field, bringing Wilson home for a 1-0 lead. Austin Wynns reached on Corey Seager’s fielding error, but the Athletics could not add more.
They did not wait long to stretch the lead. In the third, Langeliers opened with a sharp single to left, and Kurtz followed with a walk. Thomas then lined a single into center, scoring Langeliers and moving Kurtz to second. Tyler Soderstrom’s groundout pushed both runners up, and Wilson added a sacrifice fly to right to score Kurtz. Just like that, the Green and Gold had a 3-0 lead and looked sharp enough to make Texas pay for every extra base.
But the Rangers answered in the bottom of the third with a rally that was less thunderstorm and more slow leak. Danny Jansen was hit by a pitch, Evan Carter walked, and Sam Haggerty dropped down a soft bunt single to load the bases. Nimmo lifted a sacrifice fly to left to score Jansen. After Springs struck out McCutchen, Seager lined a single to center, bringing home Carter and cutting the Athletics’ lead to 3-2. Springs escaped by striking out Jake Burger, but Texas had shoved itself right back into the game.
From there, the middle innings became a wrestling match. Langeliers singled again in the fourth, Wilson added another single in the fifth, and Springs settled down after the shaky third. He worked through a one-out single by Jansen in the fourth and retired the Rangers in order in the fifth, including a nice first-to-pitcher groundout that saw Kurtz and Springs handle Nimmo cleanly. For a while, it felt like the A’s might survive the earlier scare.
The turning point came in the sixth. Seager opened with a single to right, and after Burger flew out sharply to left, Jung changed the entire night with one swing. He launched his fourth home run of the season to right-center field, scoring Seager and flipping a 3-2 Athletics lead into a 4-3 Rangers advantage. It was the kind of swing that does not just change the scoreboard. It changes the temperature in the building. Springs got through the rest of the inning, but the damage was done.
The Athletics had chances, though not many clean ones. In the eighth, Carlos Cortes came off the bench for Muncy and drilled a sharp double to right with one out. That put the tying run in scoring position, but Jeff McNeil, also entering as a pinch-hitter, flew out to left, and Wynns followed with a flyout to center. Texas had opened the door just enough for trouble, but the A’s could not kick it in.
Mark Leiter Jr. gave the Athletics a flawless bottom of the eighth, retiring Seager, Burger, and Jung in order, which kept the deficit at one. That gave the top of the order one last chance in the ninth against Jacob Latz. But the inning disappeared quickly. Zack Gelof grounded out to short, Langeliers was called out on strikes, and Kurtz grounded out to third to end it.
Wilson was one of the bright spots for the Athletics, finishing with a double, a single, a run scored, and a sacrifice fly. Langeliers collected two hits, Hernaiz drove in the first run, and Thomas added an RBI single. But the A’s also struck out ten times and managed only one run after the third inning. Texas did not pile up offense all night, but it did enough, and Jung’s two-run homer was the difference between a clean Athletics win and a frustrating one-run loss.
Sunday the rubber game series tied 1-1 starting pitchers for Sacramento RHP JT Ginn (0-0 ERA 3.74) for Texas RHP Kumar Rocker (1-1 ERA 3.48) first pitch 11:35am PDT.
