The Oakland A's Are Sneaky Good? Author: Jason Burke Apr 27, 2024 After splitting a four-game series with the New York Yankees on the road to start the week, the Oakland A's came from behind to tie the game in the top of the ninth in Baltimore on Friday, and then secured the win in the tenth. On a road trip that included stops against the three top teams in the American League, the A's are holding their own--mostly. This week against New York and the first game against Baltimore, the A's are 3-2. The first stop in Cleveland last weekend ended in a series sweep by the home team, and former A's catcher and new Guardians manager Stephen Vogt seems to have his old team's number in 2024, boasting

The Oakland Athletics — wherever they may be playing in a couple years – likely will be featuring two talented outfielders currently playing in Lansing, Michigan. Henry Bolte and Bryan Buelvas both have speed to burn, developing power, and enough enthusiasm for the game to light up the Las Vegas Strip. In a few years, they very well could be playing in Vegas, where the A's intend to move after a supposed stop in Sacramento while a new stadium is being built among the bright-light casinos. Through 19 games, each guy has exactly 17 hits, 3 homers and is 8-for-8 in stolen-base attempts.

Brent Rooker doubled in the tiebreaking run in the 10th inning to cap a late comeback that carried the Oakland Athletics past the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 on Friday night. After Oakland rallied from a 2-1 deficit to pull even in the ninth against Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel, Rooker put the A's in front with a two-out liner into the left-field corner off Jacob Webb (0-1).

Apr. 26—Marriotts Ridge senior Will Ashbaugh's passion for the Orioles has never wavered. Friday night at Camden Yards, Ashbaugh, who has autism, will be on the same mound as many of the players he idolizes. As part of the Orioles' "Autism Acceptance Night" against the Oakland Athletics, Ashbaugh will be throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. "It's totally overwhelming," his mother, Laura ...

It took the A's awhile to get Mason Miller a lead on Friday night, but it was worth the wait. Abraham Toro doubled home the tying run in the top of the ninth inning, and Brent Rooker's double scored Shea Langeliers from first base with two out in the top of the 10th before Miller did the rest in the A's 3-2 comeback win at Camden Yards. After Miller stuck out Gunnar Henderson on a 101.8 mph fastball with a runner on third to end it, the righty punched the air in delight.

The Orioles were three outs away Friday night from improving to 6-0 in games started by Corbin Burnes, but closer Craig Kimbrel had trouble recording them. Kimbrel entered with a one-run lead in the ninth against the visiting Oakland Athletics, hoping to slam the door and continue the stellar start to his Orioles tenure. Heroics from Keegan Akin, who stranded the bases loaded in relief of Kimbrel, kept the score tied, but Baltimore's bats couldn't score in the ninth or 10th in a 3-2 loss. It appeared reliever Jacob Webb would continue Akin's success by retiring the first two batters of the 10th, including a groundout that led to the automatic runner being tagged out between third and home.

The Oakland Athletics are still a losing team with 16 losses in 26 games but they look like a winning one when Mason Miller appears with his arsenal of high-end fastballs and a slider that changes the pace nicely on hitters. The Yankees got a nice look at those pitches, notably Juan Soto, Aaron Judge and Anthony Volpe, who each faced him twice this week. Volpe was the only to touch Miller, getting a relatively hard-hit single.

After 1-2-3 first and second innings, Cortes gave up a home run to Nick Allen and a two-run shot to Tyler Nevin in the third inning which created a deficit too great for the Yankees to get out of. Dennis Santana and Victor Gonzalez both put up scoreless innings apiece out of the bullpen, but the Yankees' offense sputtered all night, leaving runners in scoring position several times.
