On the Oakland A’s podcast with Augie Mesenburg:
#1 In the last two games the A’s have called on closer Mason Miller who shut the door on the New York Yankees on Thursday and on the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night both first place teams and both games on the road.
#2 Miller can throw heat with pitches over 100 MPH and that’s what’s been key in some of these A’s win he kept it tight in Friday’s game in one run ball game in the tenth inning and the A’s in front he closed out the Orioles for close one run 3-2 win.
#3 Miller on Thursday night in New York faced the last four Yankees hitters which included Yankee slugger Aaron Judge and retired them all as the A’s split the four game series with New York at 2-2.
#4 The A’s also got a clutch double from designated hitter Brent Rooker in the tenth inning to bring in the go ahead run and eventual winner for the A’s 3-2.
#5 Oakland will send Paul Blackburn to the mound in game three. He has been having a terrific season with a (2-1, 2.03 ERA). Baltimore will start Albert Suarez (1-0 ERA 0.00). First pitch for this game is scheduled for Sunday at 10:35 AM.
