Athletics News
The Oakland Athletics are limping into a crucial series against the New York Yankees, fresh off a hard-fought series win against the Houston Astros. Despite a promising finish with Brent Rooker's three-run walk-off home run, the Athletics are battling a bullpen that continues to falter, contributing to a troubling run differential of -12 over their last seven games. With a record of 3-6 and a shaky pitching staff, the A’s need every ounce of confidence they can muster, especially after optioning Luis Morales to Triple-A to work on his control. As the A’s approach this matchup, they'll need to channel their efforts to keep pace with the Yankees, who are riding high at 7-2 and will start strong with momentum on their side.
Athletics Upcoming Schedule
The Oakland Athletics visit the New York Mets for a 3-game series starting Friday.
