Athletics Struggle Against Giants

Baseball’s back in town as the Oakland A’s head to San Francisco for a showdown with the Giants — but the A’s are in rough shape after a four-game skid, sitting third in their division with a 38-42 record. The Giants, meanwhile, are fourth at 33-46 but have been hitting on all cylinders, sporting the league’s second-best batting average at .257. The Giants have dominated this season’s six matchups, winning four of five, while A’s star Nick Kurtz (19 HR, 61 RBI) tries to spark a turnaround. Jung Hoo Lee leads the Giants with 5 HR and 27 RBI. Recent form? Giants are 5-5 in their last 10, A’s are 3-7 and outscored by 20 runs. Both teams have key players sidelined — Luis Arraez (foot) and Jacob Wilson (shoulder) — but the Giants’ momentum and the A’s’ slump make this a must-watch matchup.
