A’s drop first half of Twins doubleheader

With their eighth loss in a row, the Oakland A’s have tied their longest losing streak of the season. Fortunately, they won’t have to wait long to get another chance to break it with the second half of their doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins beginning shortly.

It only took the Twins 4 innings to take control of the game, scoring a 4 runs from JP Sears, who had atypically poor command. On top of giving up 9 hits, the southpaw allowed 4 free passes, the most he’s given up this season.
