Athletics News

The Athletics wrapped up their first road trip of the season with a disappointing 5-1 loss to the Braves, bringing their record to a woeful 1-5. Luis Severino struggled on the mound, unable to match his decent opening day performance, while Chris Sale, despite battling an illness, was dominant, allowing just one baserunner in six innings. However, amidst the gloom, Shea Langeliers continues to shine, hitting his fifth home run, making him the first catcher to achieve this feat since Hall of Famer Gabby Hartnett 101 years ago. Denzel Clarke's defensive heroics provide a glimmer of hope, but the A's need to string together more consistent performances to turn this early season around.
