There is still work to be done to get this team back to contender status, but the Oakland A's are making progress
For the first time since July of 2022, the Oakland A's have secured a winning month. That is what they like to call progress. It's also fitting that the last two wins down in Anaheim featured the return of starters Ross Stripling and Paul Blackburn. The A's were 14-17 at the end of April, before injuries came for nearly their entire starting rotation.
All four of those losses for the Angels have come at the hands of the A's, meanwhile, five of those six wins have come at the expense of the Seattle Mariners. The M's have managed to score one run in four of those games, and two runs in the other. Brent Rooker has also clubbed nine homers this month, giving him 25 on the season. He finished last year with 30, and is very much on pace to break his career-high this year. Rook has been one of the best hitters in baseball all year long, ranking sixth in wRC+ with a 166. Judge, Soto, and Ohtani are in their own realm, and then Witt, Ozuna and Rooker are separated by two points from four through six.
