The Oakland A's find themselves in a sticky situation after losing the first two games of this series. #Athletics

#OTD in 2018, Stephen Piscotty hit a home run in his first at-bat after returning from bereavement leave due to his mother’s passing to ALS. After the emotional home run, Piscotty tapped his chest and looked to the sky to honor his mother. #Athletics

#OTD in 2016, Danny Valencia teed off on the Tampa Bay Rays by mashing three home runs, including a two-run shot, down to the final out, to power the Oakland A’s to a 7-6 victory. It would be Valencia’s second multi-homer game of the series. #Athletics

Final.* #Athletics

The Oakland A’s bullpen is absolutely DOMINANT.

9 of 13 batters punched out by the bullpen to force extras, including five over two innings of work by the best closer in baseball, Mason Miller.

#OTD in 2022, Luis Barrera hit his first major league home run—a walk-off three-run homer off of Raisel Iglesias to give the Oakland A’s a win while they were down to their final out. #Athletics

Uprooted Thanks, Uprooted! I genuinely love this fanbase. If anyone can find the slightest thing indicating otherwise, I would like to see it.

The Oakland A's will recall RHP Aaron Brooks, who you may remember as part of the Ben Zobrist/Sean Manaea trade in 2015, for Wednesday's start. Joey Estes is expected to get the start Thursday. #Athletics

The Oakland A's have the best offense in baseball, basically. #Athletics

Zack Gelof is with the club in houston. The Oakland A's could activate him from the IL sometime this series. #Athletics
