It’s celebration time on Locked On A’s as the A’s pulled off a stunner in Motown! In today’s episode, we’re reveling in the Athletics’ 3-0 shutout win over the Tigers – yes, the team with the best record in baseball just got blanked by the green-and-gold. We break down how rookie Nick Kurtz’s massive three-run homer provided all the fireworks the A’s needed, and marvel at how Jacob Lopez completely tamed Detroit’s lineup with seven innings of scoreless, bulldog-caliber pitching. (We’re pretty sure “Jacob” means “Tiger tamer” in some language, because he made those Tigers look toothless! Booney is flying solo but full of energy, dishing out plenty of praise and a few laughs along the way. We dive into Lopez’s incredible turnaround – from getting knocked around in April to suddenly rocking a near-zero ERA over his last four starts. What’s changed for the 27-year-old southpaw, and can he keep riding this wave? You’ll hear about his funky five-pitch mix, how he’s got hitters flailing at that nasty changeup, and even why his catcher calls him “a dog on the mound” (in the best possible way, of course). Plus, we tip our cap to Kurtz’s power surge – this kid keeps clobbering baseballs to kingdom come. We’ll gush over the rookies injecting life into this team, from Kurtz’s homers to Mason Miller quietly nailing down his 15th save. Who said a rebuilding year can’t have some fun moments? Finally, we preview tomorrow’s series finale in Detroit. Can the A’s actually win a series against the first-place Tigers? We’ve got Jeffrey Springs on the bump (remember him? part of that Rays trade with Lopez) and he’ll be facing a wild-card pitcher, Dietrich Enns, who hasn’t pitched in the bigs since we were all obsessed with Ted Lasso. 🤯 It’s an early game (so grab your coffee, folks), and we’ll set the stage for what’s at stake. Tune in for all that and more – it’s an upbeat, funny, and shockingly happy episode of Locked On A’s that you won’t want to miss! Go A’s!
