Finally, finally, the A’s record matches the number of games they’ve played this season; finally, finally the A’s pick up the four-game sweep they were forced to abandon in Detroit all the way back in May, and for all the hype and fun the A’s—and the Coliseum—had with this away/home game, it ended in absolutely the quietest way ever, with a much-needed whimper, zero drama as the A’s collected the win they were due.

Well.

What looked for all the world like the A’s might cruise to their second win tonight on the strength of their 4 run second inning, the Tigers scored 2 in the seventh and 2 in the eighth to tie the game and force the A’s into this bottom of the ninth.

The First 6.5 Innings

Today’s Game Thread

With one pitch, Liam Hendriks got his first strikeout of the late afternoon. Seventeen pitches later, Hendriks got his second strikeout and ended the frame. It was the same ol’ Hendriks, in a suddenly unfamiliar setting.

UPDATE: A’s win 7-3 to complete the four-game sweep! Next game at 7:07; we’ll see you with a brand-new thread very soon!

Happy Friday and welcome to a most unusual set of circumstances tonight, as part of a Friday night extravaganza that Nico dubbed the “quarter header”, the A’s need to make up three innings of game #48, nearly a hundred games ago, before they play game #141, which will finally stop our eyes from twitching when we think...
