Minnesota Faces Shocking Downfall as A’s Extend Unbelievable Losing Streak
The Athletics are not having quite as nice of a season, but I think with the expectations they had, they are actually having a good campaign. There wasn’t a ton of hope for the team this year, and they have won 23 games to this point. They were hotter at the beginning of the season, but suffered an 11-game losing streak that they likely won’t ever recover from. They have actually lost six straight games entering tonight as well, and won just one game over their past 18 attempts. That’s Colorado Rockies level bad. Before this stretch, the team was 22-20. I can’t really say what has been the cause of the incompetence lately, but it has gotten ugly. One bright spot is tonight’s starter, Luis Severino. He is 1-4 with a 3.89 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP for the year. While those numbers are okay, he has been brutal at the “home” field for the A’s. He is 0-4 with a 6.20 ERA in seven starts. Twins hitters have been pretty solid against him as well, hitting .259 against him in 54 at-bats.
