The Oakland A’s rank 16th in MLB batting at
.249, 11th in ERA at 3.83, and 22nd in
fielding with 72 errors. They have no one in
the top ten in batting, wins, or ERA. Their
best hitter, Khris Davis, is second in HRs
and RBI’s, and their top pitcher, Sean
Manaea, is tied for 15th with 10 wins. But
since June 1 they are 41-20, they are second
in the Wild Card, and they trail the Astros
by just 2.5 games for the ALWest lead. On
Saturday, Rookie CF Ramon Laureano sprinted
to catch a smash to deep Center by Angels’
LF Justin Upton (above). He then whirled and
threw the ball 321 feet –on the fly – to
double up the runner, CF Eric Young, Jr, off
first. (AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill). |
