Oakland Athletics

The Treehouse entertainment space way out in left-center field bustled between games of a doubleheader as Oakland Athletics fans relished a chance to get out of the sun on a cloudless, spectacular day in the Bay Area, for some ping-pong or to grab a cold drink. The A's lost 112 games last season and 102 the year before that, and now are 18-21 heading into Friday's weekend series at Seattle.

The Oakland Athletics split their double header with the Texas Rangers on Wednesday, but their young star slugger made sure to show up in both games. Shea Langeliers started at catcher in Game One, and he got the ball rolling with a two-run homer in the bottom of the second. Langeliers notched an RBI triple in the bottom of the sixth, putting him a single away from a cycle, but he struck out swinging in his final at-bat of the game. The A's won 9-5 thanks to Langeliers' five-RBI outing, and he hardly slowed down in Game Two.

JJ Bleday hit a go-ahead home run with one out in the fifth inning and a two-run drive in the seventh for his first career multi-homer game, leading the Oakland Athletics past the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 on Tuesday night. Mitch Spence (3-1) struck out two over three scoreless innings in relief of starter Alex Wood.

Closer Craig Kimbrel blew his second save in as many opportunities and departed with back tightness on Sunday as the Oakland Athletics rallied to a 7-6, series-deciding victory over the Baltimore Orioles. “I mean I don’t know how long, what the time table is with Craig, or if any at all,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said postgame of the nine-time All-Star. Two nights after he threw only eight of 24 pitches for strikes, Kimbrel (3-1) threw six straight balls to open his outing, the fifth of which prompted the first visit from Hyde and team medical staff.

Oakland Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof was put on the 10-day injured list Thursday because of a strained left oblique. Gelof was a late scratch from Wednesday’s game after feeling pain during his pregame routine and an MRI showed the low-grade strain. “He went through his pregame routine and we decided to take a cautious side and I think if it was into September, he probably would have played, though, if you asked him but being that it’s April, I’m glad we’re erring on the side of caution,” manager Mark Kotsay said before Oakland's series finale against the New York Yankees.
