Bolte Shines as A's Fall Short | Oakland Athletics News

The A’s came oh-so-close to pulling off a miracle comeback, rallying from a seven-run deficit in the ninth but falling just short on a lineout — sealing a 9-6 loss to the Twins. Despite the heartbreak, rookie Henry Bolte is crushing it in August, leading all rookies in hits and ranking second in batting average as he finds his groove in the big leagues. But the bullpen’s shaky performance derailed the momentum — relievers surrendered runs in the sixth and eighth after the starter exited early. Manager Mark Kotsay admits they’re still searching for reliable arms to keep games close. Young pitcher Kade Morris showed promise but needs better execution. And with only 11 wins since late June, the A’s remain stuck in a brutal stretch, struggling to string together even two wins in a row.
