A's Bullpen Falters, Losing to Phillies

The Oakland Athletics lost a close game to the Philadelphia Phillies, blowing a one-run lead in the eighth inning. Despite a solid start from Jeffrey Springs, the bullpen struggled, with Jack Perkins giving up four runs. The As have ten blown saves, tied for the most in baseball, and have surrendered 73 runs in the seventh inning or later. To improve, they called up Brooks Kriske from Triple-A and are relying on their bullpen to build trust and navigate rough patches.
