Week 13 – June 19th – Yep, 3 Steps Forward and 2 Steps Back
Nothing like a little humility, I guess. Oakland takes the series with one game left.
Game Summary – June 19th – Athletics Earn 6-3 Home Win
Mitch Spence, who is tied for 9th in the AL in wins with 6, propelled his team to victory over the Kansas City Royals. The final score was 6-3, Oakland. The winning pitcher was Spence, now 6-5. He tossed 6.1 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 4. The win puts Oakland at 31-45. In the bottom of the fourth, Oakland left fielder Seth Brown had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and one out, Brown stroked a 2-run single to right-center. It made the score 5-1, Oakland. For the game, he was 3-5 with a double and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once.
Spence told the media after that game that the mood in the clubhouse is "extremely positive" after a win like that
.
Well, I’m glad Oakland could get some good attendance, if less than last night is good. Doesn’t say much for how much we draw in, though.
