Happy Monday, Athletics Nation! I hope you are having a safe and meaningful Memorial Day holiday.
The A’s dropped a second series to the Astros over the weekend, but at least managed to avoid another humiliating sweep like the last one in Houston. Yesterday’s loss closed out a 3-3 homestand throughout which the A’s won and lost on alternating days, besting the Rockies in a three game series before suffering the L-W-L against Houston. It’s nothing to write home about, but the .500 stretch sure beats Oakland’s last 1-9 road trip—and was a lot more fun to watch for the most part.
Rookie phenom Mason Miller took a rare stumble in Thursday’s epic comeback win in extras against the Rockies on Thursday, but thankfully The Reaper snapped right back into unhittable form on Saturday to save the A’s lone win of the season against the Astros, striking out the side once again in the process. Nothing beats seeing it with your own eyes, but this stat underscores just how rare dominance of this magnitude is:
#Athletics Mason Miller has five saves in which he had at least three strikeouts and struck out every batter he faced this season. That is exactly half of what Mariano Rivera had during his entire career. The single-season record for such saves is nine by Edwin Díaz in 2018.…
The A’s are southbound tomorrow, beginning a six game road trip in Tampa Bay that will end in Atlanta. Hopefully they’ll tighten up their defense (quite) a bit and get a few more opportunistic knocks to solidify the team’s progress.
