A's Crush Pirates 11-2 Behind Kurtz

The Oakland A’s crushed the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-2 in a fireworks-filled home opener, led by Nick Kurtz’s two homers and five RBIs, and Jeff McNeil’s clutch performance with a homer and four RBIs. Kurtz’s late three-run blast sealed the win, while J.T. Ginn pitched six strong innings. The A’s now sit half a game behind the AL West lead, while the Pirates continue their slide with an 8-10 losing streak and a brutal all-time record against Oakland. The teams clash again Tuesday night, with Jack Perkins facing Mitch Keller. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
