Oakland and Milwaukee square off in the rubber match. Last night didn't happen and today's game is the finale of a 2-game series. That's how I'm remembering it. There's no way that Yuni Betancourt really walked off against us, right? That must have been a fever dream or something. Lineups: Athletics (B. Colon - R) @ Brewers (Y. Gallardo - R) 1.

It's only Tuesday, but the A's are already looking to pick up a road series win at Miller Park in Milwaukee. Following Tommy Milone's two-hit performance (there was a quality start somewhere in there, too) Oakland sends A.J. Griffin to the mound, opposed by the Brew Crew's Kyle Lohse. Coco Crisp is banging out hits at a pace of .300 even. Jed Lowrie is out-hitting his career batting average by a cool 57 points. Josh Reddick looks great in only four games since coming back from a nagging wrist injury. Tommy Milone, Jarrod Parker, and the rest of the A's staff are finally performing the ...

Chris Sale's scoreless streak ended at 28 innings today. And even though the A's did the bare minimum to snap Sale's string of zeroes, that's just an insurmountable amount of damage these days. Sale walked Coco Crisp to lead off the sixth. Crisp advanced to third on a single, and after a Yoenis Cespedes strikeout, Josh Donaldson muscled an inside-corner fastball deep enough to right field to get Crisp home. Otherwise, Sale pitched beautifully, allowing just four hits, that walk, and a hit batsman while striking out five. The A's did make him work for 104 pitches over six innings with s...

Cereal bowls! Get your cereal bowls at the gate! In an unusual giveaway at the Coliseum today, the A's handed out Coco Crisp cereal bowls, which were obviously good luck, as their namesake and his speed broke a scoreless tie and also added an insurance run in a game that saw Parker record his fourth win, Balfour his thirteenth save, and the A's their 9th win in the last 10 games, and 14th of their last 16th. During this stretch, the A's starting pitching has racked up fifteen quality starts in the last twenty games, and are deep into a game of "Whatever he can do, I can do better". It ...
