Sears, Rooker lead A’s to 5th straight win

The Oakland A’s are one win away from .500.

The Oakland Athletics are on a roll and no one, especially not the 9-25 Arraez-less Miami Marlins, can stop them.

As has consistently been the case throughout this surprise run, the A’s almost-winning formula — they’re still one win away from that glorious .500 record — has started with their pitching. The staff as a whole has averaged exactly 3 earned runs per game over their last ten and hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down.
