MLB: Oakland A’s score six runs in the seventh inning to complete series sweep of Shohei Ohtani, Los Angeles Angels
OAKLAND – Tony Kemp remembers talking with David Forst early in the season — when the Oakland A’s struggles were reaching historic proportions — and telling the general manager, “Don’t give up on us.”
After being no-hit for five innings, the A’s scored four runs in the sixth and six more in the seventh on Sunday to earn a 10-6 win over the Los Angeles Angels and complete their third series sweep of the season. The A’s have now won eight of their last 13 games, including a 4-2 mark against American League West opponents. Prior to this last week, Oakland was 5-28 against division rivals.
Now, with four weeks left, the A’s, at 42-95, only need to win one of their final 25 games to avoid such an ugly distinction. Oakland begins a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, then starts a six-game road trip with stops in Texas and Houston. “A few of these young guys have brought some more energy and life,” Kotsay said. “On a daily basis, they come here prepared, as we have every day. But when you talk about confidence, you need the wins and the results, and I think they’re starting to get that.”
In 27 games in August, Gelof hit .286 with seven home runs, eight doubles, and 15 RBI. In 117 plate appearances, he had a .912 OPS.
