So, it becomes a two game sweep in Oakland. Felix battled his way through 6 innings, giving up 11 hits, but left with the lead. From there it was up to the bullpen, but unfortunately, the over used Brandon League could not get out of the 10th and gave up a game winning single to Kurt Suzuki.
Offensively, the M's were there with 10 hits and 5 runs, a better total than what we've seen as of late. Rob Johnson crushed his second homer of the season of Ben Sheets, the guy who he hit his first one off. Kotchman had two hits and two rbis, Figgins had a couple of hits and over all it wasn't bad.
I think we lost one because this amount of offense comes after a long stretch of nearly punchless games and we taxed our bullpen, leaving them once again in a tight situation. If the offense could produce like this and the bullpen can get enough rest so they can hold the opponents to less runs. This is a big duh, I know.
PLAYER OF THE GAME:
I'll give this to Kotchman in the hopes that it helps him get closer to climbing over the Mendoza line.
