Episode Details

The Athletics fell in the series opener against the Orioles, continuing their troubling pattern of losing game one—and now they’re staring down a steep climb. Jacob Lopez pitched five innings with just one earned run, but his 100-pitch outing, three walks, and six strikeouts exposed inefficiency as the bullpen gets stretched thin. The relief corps rotated through four arms, ending with Brady Basso taking the loss after surrendering the go-ahead run in the 10th. On the bright side, Zack Gelof sparked the offense with two hits, an RBI, and a stolen base—offering hope that his recent slump might be turning. With a long series ahead, the A’s need pitching to step up big—or risk falling even deeper into this hole.
