On the Oakland A’s podcast with Stephen Ruderman:
#1 The San Diego Padres Kyle Higashioka belted a walk off home run as the lead off hitter in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the Oakland A’s at Petco Park on Tuesday night 4-3.
#2 The Padres Fernando Tatis kept his hitting streak alive at 17. But the Padres Jurickson Profar took a swing at a pitch so hard that he hurt himself landing on the ground in the bottom of the eighth inning and was replaced by David Peralta who flew out to center.
#3 With the loss on Tuesday the A’s have now lost 10 of their last 13 games and have really hit the skids they are now 17 games below .500.
#4 The A’s Tyler Soderstrom tied up the ball game at 3-3 in the top of the eighth inning with one out. Soderstrom hit a two run homer scoring Miguel Andujar ahead of him. For Soderstrom it was his third home run of the season.
#5 The A’s are back to the drawing board again and will start RHP Hogan Harris (0-0, ERA 2.21) and for the Padres RHP Michael King (5-4, ERA 3.58) first pitch at Petco 1:10pm PT. This will conclude the three game series between the two teams.
