Okay...can we just skip to the last game of the series?

That's twice now in two try's. The Oakland Athletics have now started the season at a disappointing but expected 2-5. Both of their wins came in the final game of their two first series (game 4 VS Cleveland and Game three VS Boston).

Thankfully for those wins, The A's have not been swept. In the Boston series, games one and two saw the A's offense struggle to a tune of just two combined runs and 10 combined hits.

As mentioned earlier, the A's had better fortune in game three. In that game, Zack Gelof continues his all or nothing approach as he hit two homeruns and drove in four of the A's five total runs. To explain that further, Gelof has started the year just 3-25 with all three of his hits being homeruns.

Rookie shortstop, Darrell Hernaiz added the A's other RBI in the 8th inning after his bloop signle scored Miguel Andujar.

Pitching wise, Alex wood had a pretty good game (6.0 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 2 SO) and closer, Lucas Erceg got his first save of his career as the A's took the victory, 5-3.

The A's will now travel for the first time in 2024 as they head to Detroit to take on the Tigers (4-2/2nd AL Central).
