Ten Game Recap
• MON APR 20, 2026 • Athletics Silence Seattle with Back To Back Shots Athletics (6) @ Seattle Mariners (4) Seattle, WA - For the first two innings Monday night at T-Mobile Park, the Athletics looked stuck in the same old trap. Seattle jumped ahead quickly when Cal Raleigh smashed a first-inning home run, Julio Rodríguez stole second after a single, and Josh Naylor doubled him home. Dominic Canzone then opened the second with a homer, giving the Mariners a 3-0 lead and putting early pressure on J.T. Ginn and the A’s offense. But Ginn settled down after the rough start and gave the Athletics a chance to crawl back into the game. Carlos Cortes began the comeback in the fourth with a solo shot to right, cutting the lead to 3-1. Then in the sixth, the game turned completely when Nick Kurtz blasted a leadoff homer to center and Shea Langeliers followed immediately with another, tying the score at 3-3. From there, the bullpen held firm, with Hogan Harris and Mark Leiter Jr. keeping Seattle quiet long enough for the bats to strike again. In the eighth, Tyler Soderstrom doubled, Jacob Wilson singled, and Jeff McNeil walked to load the bases. Max Muncy drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly, and Lawrence Butler added a two-run single to give the Athletics the breathing room they needed in a 6-4 win.

 | • SUN APR 19, 2026 • A Late Push Falls Short as the Athletics Chase From Behind Athletics (4) vs Chicago White Sox (7) West Sacramento, CA - The Athletics found themselves playing uphill early and never quite reached the summit in a 7-4 loss, despite showing signs of life in the middle innings. Chicago struck first with a sacrifice fly in the opening frame, then created separation in the second when Derek Hill launched a solo shot and Miguel Vargas followed with a two-run homer to make it 4-0. The Athletics answered quickly when Darell Hernaiz connected for his first home run of the season in the bottom of the second, trimming the deficit, but the game tilted again in the fifth. Munetaka Murakami drove a two-run homer to right and Colson Montgomery added a solo blast, stretching the lead to six. That swing proved decisive. The Athletics mounted their best rally in the seventh, sparked by Zack Gelof’s two-run double into the gap before a wild pitch brought him home to make it 7-4. It was the kind of push that hinted at a comeback, but the bats went quiet from there. Jeffrey Springs absorbed the loss after surrendering seven runs across five innings, while Chicago’s bullpen closed the door without allowing the Athletics another opening.

 | • SAT APR 18, 2026 • Small Ball Wins Big in an Eleven Inning Grind Athletics (7) vs Chicago White Sox (6) West Sacramento, CA - The Athletics did not overpower their way to this one, they outlasted it, outthought it, and in the end, out-executed it. In a 7-6 victory that stretched into the 11th inning, the difference came down to details that often get overlooked until they decide everything. After Nick Kurtz erased a late deficit with a game-tying home run, the game settled into a tense back-and-forth where every pitch carried weight. When the 11th arrived, the Athletics leaned into a more traditional approach. Denzel Clarke’s bunt moved Jacob Wilson into scoring position, forcing the defense to make a play under pressure. Moments later, Max Muncy delivered a sacrifice fly that was not flashy, but it was exactly what the situation demanded. Wilson tagged and scored without hesitation, ending it. The offense produced throughout, but it was the awareness in the final sequence that stood out most. This was not a win built on one swing or one moment, but on a series of small, deliberate choices that added up. For a team trying to establish consistency, this was the kind of game that shows how it can be done. Image By: Mauricio Segura / Written By: Mauricio Segura / Game #21 / 11-10 | ||
• FRI APR 17, 2026 • The Bats Got Loud and the Athletics Paid for It Athletics (2) vs Chicago White Sox (9) West Sacramento, CA - The Athletics ran into a White Sox lineup that finally looked awake, and the result was a 9-2 loss that turned from manageable to messy in a hurry. Aaron Civale was hit hard early and often, surrendering 11 hits in 4 2/3 innings as Chicago kept finding barrels instead of empty swings. Colson Montgomery helped set the tone with two RBIs, Andrew Benintendi collected three hits and drove in a run, and Munetaka Murakami delivered the real hammer blow with a seventh-inning grand slam that cleared the batter’s eye and buried any realistic comeback hopes. Chicago finished with 15 hits, which tells the whole story without much need for poetry. The Athletics did not get their first hit until Shea Langeliers doubled in the fourth, and their first run came moments later when Nick Kurtz lined an RBI single to center. That cut the deficit to 3-1, but Davis Martin never let the game wobble. He worked seven strong innings, allowed just three hits and one earned run, and kept the Athletics from building any kind of pressure. By the time Andy Ibáñez added a late RBI groundout, this one had already slipped far out of reach. Image By: Getty Images / Written By: Mauricio Segura / Game #20 / 10-10 | |||
 | • THU APR 16, 2026 • Late Lead Slips Away as Athletics Let One Get Loose Athletics (6) vs Texas Rangers (9) West Sacramento, CA - The A's built it, grabbed it, and then let it slip right through their hands, turning a hard-earned late lead into a 9-6 loss that capped a split. Winds in excess of 24 mph had a hand in today's loss as hard hits to left and center were knocked down from home run trajectories.Texas went up early, but the Athletics answered in the fifth when Jacob Wilson lined a two-run single and Carlos Cortes added an RBI hit to make it 3-2. The Rangers edged back ahead with a tie in the sixth and a two-run shot from Josh Jung in the seventh, but the Athletics refused to fold, reclaiming control in the eighth when Nick Kurtz ripped a bases-clearing double to jump in front 6-5. That should have been enough. It wasn’t. The ninth inning unraveled quickly, starting with a throwing error that cracked the door open, followed by a go-ahead single and another hit that brought in two more runs. In the span of a few swings, a win turned into a loss. The offense did its job when it mattered most, but closing it out proved to be the difference.

 | • WED APR 15, 2026 • A Swing Here a Swing There and the Athletics Take Control Athletics (6) vs Texas Rangers (5) West Sacramento, CA - The first place Athletics turned on the power and grit, holding off the Rangers 6-5 behind a pair of momentum-shifting home runs. Shea Langeliers ignited the surge in the sixth inning with a two-run shot that flipped the score, and Jacob Wilson followed in the seventh with another two-run blast that gave the Athletics just enough cushion to withstand a late push. Texas made it uncomfortable down the stretch, with Corey Seager’s earlier two-run homer setting the tone and Jake Burger’s three-run shot pulling the Rangers within one, but the Athletics had already stacked enough offense to survive the pressure. Denzel Clarke contributed with a run-scoring play, and Tyler Soderstrom’s RBI double added a key insurance run that loomed large as the lead narrowed. On the mound, J.T. Ginn provided stability through 5 1/3 innings, keeping the damage manageable before handing it over to the bullpen. Joel Kuhnel handled the final moments, securing the save and sealing a win that showed this group can respond, adjust, and finish when the game tightens.

 | • TUE APR 14, 2026 • Two Runs Were Enough and Just Barely Athletics (2) vs Texas Rangers (1) West Sacramento, CA - The Athletics did not need a barrage of hits to get past Texas, just one well-timed swing and a pitching staff that refused to give in. After falling behind on Jake Burger’s RBI single in the first inning, the response came quickly and decisively. In the third, Jacob Wilson stepped in and lined a two-run single that flipped the game and, as it turned out, settled it for good. From there, the tone shifted to control and precision. Jeffrey Springs worked 6 1/3 innings, allowing just one run on five hits while striking out five, keeping Texas from ever building momentum. Defense stepped in when it had to. Wilson made a spinning play in the second that cut off a potential rally, and Denzel Clarke delivered the kind of moment that sticks, leaping at the wall in the fourth to take extra bases away from Andrew McCutchen. With a slim lead intact, Mark Leiter Jr. handled the final outs, closing the door on a four-hit night for the Rangers. It was not flashy, but it was sharp, clean, and exactly the kind of game that adds up over a long season. Image By: Mauricio Segura / Written By: Mauricio Segura / Game #17 / 9-8 | ||
 | • MON APR 13, 2026 • Burger Grills The A's Early For The Series Opening Loss Athletics (1) vs Texas Rangers (8) West Sacramento, CA - The Athletics began with winning momentum from their success in New York, but they were quickly pushed onto their heels in an 8-1 loss to Texas that snapped a five-game winning streak. The tone was set immediately when Jake Burger launched a three-run homer in the first inning, putting the Green and Gold in chase mode before they could settle in. Burger struck again in the third with a solo shot, finishing with four runs batted in and doing most of the heavy lifting for a Rangers lineup that never let up. On the mound, Nathan Eovaldi controlled the game throughout, working seven scoreless innings and limiting any chance of a comeback. The A's struggled to generate sustained offense and were kept quiet until Lawrence Butler finally broke through with a solo homer in the eighth, providing the only run of the game. Butler also made one of the defensive highlights, reaching up to take a home run away from Corey Seager earlier in the game, a moment that briefly sparked energy but could not shift the outcome. Texas added insurance late, turning a competitive start into a one-sided finish. Image By: Mauricio Segura / Written By: Mauricio Segura / Game #16 / 8-8 | ||
• SUN APR 12, 2026 • Kurtz' Swing Was Enough Athletics (1) @ New York Mets (6) Flushing, NY - The A’s didn’t need much offense, just one well-timed crack of the bat and a steady run of arms that refused to bend. Nick Kurtz provided all the scoring with a solo home run in the third inning, a clean shot that barely needed any help and ultimately stood as the difference in a tight 1-0 win over the Mets. From there, the game turned into a clinic on pristine pitching. Aaron Civale set the tone, working 5 2/3 scoreless innings while allowing just four hits and never handing out a walk, keeping New York off balance without overpowering stuff. The bullpen picked up right where he left off, locking things down inning by inning before Joel Kuhnel shut the door to secure the save. The Mets had their chances but couldn’t string anything together, matching the A’s with four hits but never finding the big one. On the other side, Freddy Peralta was sharp as well, but Kurtz’s lone swing proved costly. The result was a clean sweep and a fifth straight win, with the A’s leaning on precision, patience, and just enough pop to get it done.

• SAT APR 11, 2026 • Soderstrom Leads Saturday's Surge in Queens Athletics (11) @ New York Mets (6) Flushing, NY - Tyler Soderstrom swung the biggest bat in the Athletics’ 11-6 win over the Mets, blasting two home runs and driving in five runs in a game that kept tilting harder in the A’s favor every time New York seemed ready to breathe. The A’s finished with 11 runs on 14 hits, and Soderstrom supplied the thunder, including a three-run shot that helped break things open. Shea Langeliers also delivered an RBI hit, and the lineup kept pressure on Kodai Senga, who was tagged for seven earned runs in just over three innings in a rough outing by his standards. The Mets did not go quietly, but the Athletics kept answering, stacking quality at-bats and forcing New York’s pitching staff to work without much peace. It was the kind of offensive performance that felt less like a hot stretch and more like a lineup deciding it had seen enough. For an A’s club trying to build rhythm early, this was not just a win. It was a loud, confident reminder that when the middle of the order gets rolling, the scoreboard can start looking downright rude in a hurry.

• FRI APR 10, 2026 • Four Runs Were Plenty as A’s Pitching Does the Rest Athletics (4) @ New York Mets (0) Flushing, NY - The Athletics kept their pitching machine humming and their bats patient in a 4-0 win over the Mets, turning a tight game into a late knockout. J.T. Ginn, facing the organization that drafted him, gave the Athletics four scoreless innings and allowed just one hit while striking out four. After he exited, the bullpen took over and slammed the door, with Jack Perkins earning the win during 2 1/3 scoreless innings as part of a combined six-hit shutout. The Athletics scratched out the first run in the third when Shea Langeliers lined a single to right that brought home Max Muncy, and that slim edge held for most of the game because the pitching staff never let New York build any rhythm. Then came the ninth, when Jeff McNeil, back against his former club, delivered an RBI single, and Denzel Clarke followed with a two-run single that gave the box score some breathing room and the Mets a headache. McNeil finished with two hits, the Athletics collected nine in all, and the bigger story was the staff again looking stubborn, sharp, and just plain difficult to score on. For a team trying to build momentum, this was the kind of clean, no-nonsense win that plays very well. Image By: Getty Images / Written By: Mauricio Segura / Game #13 / 6-7 | |||
• THU APR 9, 2026 • Muncy Sparks A's Quiet Heist in the Bronx Athletics (1) @ New York Yankees (0) Bronx, NY - For six innings, this game moved like a tightrope walk at Yankee Stadium, with neither side able to land the big punch. The A’s scratched out traffic but kept coming up empty, while Jeffrey Springs kept New York off balance and helped turn Aaron Judge into a ground-ball machine, as the Yankees star went 0-for-4. Oakland’s first real crack of daylight came in the seventh, when Max Muncy ripped a triple to right and Tyler Soderstrom followed with a sharp RBI single to give the A’s a 1-0 lead. That lone run held up, but not without a little late-inning sweat. In the bottom of the seventh, Giancarlo Stanton walked, Ben Rice singled, and pinch-runner Jazz Chisholm Jr. plus Rice pulled off a double steal to put the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position. The Yankees still could not cash in, with Austin Wells flying out to end the threat. Oakland nearly added insurance in the ninth after Muncy doubled and moved to third, but Paul Blackburn escaped the inning. Then Hogan Harris slammed the door in the bottom half, retiring Cody Bellinger, Chisholm, and Rice to finish a crisp, pressure-packed 1-0 win for the A’s.

• WED APR 8, 2026 • Late Lift Saves the Day for the Green and Gold Athletics (3) @ New York Yankees (2) Bronx, NY - The Athletics flipped the script when it mattered most, rallying past the Yankees for a 3-2 win behind sharp hitting and a lights-out bullpen. After falling behind early, the A's chipped away in the fourth inning when Jeff McNeil lined an RBI single and a wild pitch allowed the tying run to cross, erasing a two-run deficit without needing a big swing. From there, the game tightened into a pitching duel, with Luis Severino settling in and the bullpen taking over with four hitless innings that kept New York completely off balance. The Yankees had their chances but couldn’t capitalize, striking out 15 times and managing just one hit in seven opportunities with runners in scoring position. That inefficiency came back to bite them in the ninth, when Nick Kurtz sparked the rally with a single and Shea Langeliers followed with a clutch double to set the stage. Brent Rooker then delivered the decisive moment, lifting a sacrifice fly that brought home the go-ahead run and completed the comeback. The Athletics didn’t overwhelm with power, but they executed, stayed patient, and made the Yankees pay for every missed opportunity.

• TUE APR 7, 2026 • Late Thunder Silences Sacramento Bats Athletics (3) @ New York Yankees (5) Bronx, NY - The Sacramento Athletics looked in control for most of the night before the game slipped through their fingers in a 5-3 loss to the New York Yankees. For a while, everything lined up. Nick Kurtz sparked the offense with a two-run double, and Tyler Soderstrom followed with an RBI double that gave Sacramento a 3-1 cushion. On the mound, Aaron Civale delivered exactly what the team needed, working five steady innings while allowing just one run on two hits and striking out six. It had the feel of a clean, well-executed win taking shape. Then the eighth inning arrived and flipped the script. Giancarlo Stanton started the surge with a run-scoring single, trimming the lead and shifting the momentum. Moments later, Amed Rosario delivered the decisive blow, launching a three-run homer that turned a Sacramento advantage into a sudden deficit. The Athletics had no answer after that swing, going quiet when they needed one more push. David Bednar handled the ninth without trouble, sealing the comeback and leaving Sacramento to wonder how a game they controlled for so long unraveled so quickly.
