The Athletics are reeling after a brutal shutout loss to the Astros, compounded by a sweep at the hands of the Royals. With ace JT Ginn on the mound, the team’s offense went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position, leaving eight stranded. Missing key bats like Nick Kurtz and Tyler Soderstrom, they’ve gone scoreless for the first time since early August. Jonah Heim, struggling at .077 over his last 39 at-bats, is also under pressure without Shea Langeliers. But there’s hope: reliever Elvis Alvarado showed flashes of brilliance recently, throwing nine strikes in just 11 pitches with elite velocity — if he can tighten his command, he could be a game-changer down the stretch.
