Locked On Marlins POSTCAST: Marlins Drop Opener in Oakland, 3-1
Description
The Miami Marlins and their season-high three-game win streak hopped off the plane in Oakland riding all kinds of momentum into this weekend series in Oakland. Unfortunately, their hot bats did not make the trip, at least for the opener, as they lost 3-1.
The A's did just enough on offense for lefty JP Sears (2-2), who pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings- allowing just four hits- and won for the first time in four starts.
Vidal Brujan had three hits and an RBI for the Marlins, who were without hot-hitting second baseman Luis Arraez, who has reportedly been traded to the San Diego Padres.
Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (2-3) was lit up for three runs on five hits and struck out five with no walks over six innings.
Brent Rooker hit a two-run home run for Oakland. The A's are 16-17 on the season. They lost 112 games last year, and didn't win their 16th game until late June.
The two teams resume their three-game series tomorrow in Oakland, with first pitch set for 4:07 pm. We will be 'LIVE' right after the game with our Locked On Marlins POSTCAST.
This is the last series the Marlins will play in the Oakland Coliseum. The A's will play in Sacramento for two years before moving to Las Vegas in 2028.
