Athletics News

The Oakland Athletics suffered a disheartening 7-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels, marking their second blowout defeat in three games and leaving them at a mediocre 38-39 overall. The offense continues to hum, averaging 6.6 runs per game over the past week, which makes their recent struggles even more frustrating. In a surprising roster shakeup, the A's designated Scott Barlow for assignment while promoting Joey Meneses from Triple-A, signaling a shift in strategy as the team tries to find its footing. In more positive news, Colby Thomas made an incredible catch that could very well be the season's highlight, proving there's still some spark among the A's despite their recent woes. As they gear up for the final game of the series with the Angels, fans are left hoping today's action translates to a much-needed win.

Catch of the year?! A's RF sacrifices his body for spectacular HR robbery
WEST SACRAMENTO -- Sutter Health Park has proven to be a difficult place for outfielders to track balls at times, particularly in the corners. In Sunday’s 9-7 loss to the Angels, Athletics right fielder Colby Thomas conquered the elements by making an early contender for catch of the year.
