Oakland A’s (19-23) are now 3 1/2 games back of first place in the AL West going into their four-game series against the Houston Astros
Alex Wood #57 of the Oakland Athletics throws a pitch during the second inning against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park on May 12, 2024 in Seattle, Washington. SEATTLE — The Oakland A’s became one of the bigger surprises in baseball last weekend when, after six straight wins, they improved to .500 for the season and moved to within 1 1/2 games of first place in the American League West.
After losing three of four to the Texas Rangers early last week, the A’s are now 3 1/2 games back of first place in the division going into their four-game series against the Houston Astros. The series starts Monday. Asked if he might have to land on the injured list, Wood said, “We’ll see how the next few days go. I’ve been throwing with it for a little bit now. Just getting treatment and managing the workload.”
Rodríguez’s homer was just his second of the season and his first at T-Mobile Park in Seattle’s 22nd home game. Rodríguez hit a 2-2 pitch from Wood out to straightaway center field in the second inning for a two-run shot that gave Seattle a 5-0 lead.“You’ve got to stay patient and let the results come and I feel like today was the day and I’m really happy about that, that I was able to help the team win,” Rodríguez said.
