Well, it wasn't the overpowering win tied up with a neat bow that the score might indicate, but it's a win against a Division Champion bound for the playoffs and a win that effectively lowered the A's magic number to four with six games to play. And I think I speak for all of us when I say that we are not picky about our wins. The A's rode nine walks to a 8-4 victory and finally, a win for Samardzija after he turned in another gem. No one cares that the Angels handed the A's a few runs or that they outhit the A's by three. Donaldson flashed the leather, Samardzija showed off, the A's actually had two big hits, but the only thing we care about is another "W" on the scoreboard.
Sound the alarms! Cue "Celebration"! Because the Oakland Athletics have beaten the Los Angeles Angels' (almost) full team and starting pitcher! Add tonight's game to last night's walk-off win and the A's have started a modest win streak of two!
