The A’s showed exactly why the future is brighter than the neon lights of the Vegas Strip in an 8-2 beatdown of the Guardians. Denzel Clarke sparked the rally with an infield double and a triple, Jacob Wilson and Nick Kurtz both launched no-doubt home runs, and Shea Langeliers added an opposite-field blast in a relentless offensive display. Jack Perkins was the quiet hero, delivering three perfect innings of relief to shut the door on Cleveland’s offense. This wasn’t just a win—it was a loud, chest-pounding announcement from the youth movement. 

On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, we break down every angle of this game: Severino’s solid start, Langeliers’ leadership at the plate, Kurtz’s 113 mph laser show, and how Clarke's speed and hustle set the tone. Plus, we talk about Jack Perkins’ emergence and what his dominance could mean for the A’s bullpen picture moving forward. This is the kind of win that doesn’t just fill the box score—it builds belief. Don’t miss it.
