Butler’s Power & Hartlieb’s Fire | Oakland Athletics News

Lawrence Butler crushed a walk-off two-run homer in the final game, his second blast of the day, igniting the A’s lineup and proving he’s ready to lead next season’s charge. With key players sidelined, Butler’s power surge is exactly what Oakland needed. Meanwhile, Geoff Hartlieb delivered a clutch bullpen performance after the team burned through arms, continuing his strong stretch. Starting pitching had its ups and downs — Gage Jump and Jacob Lopez struggled, but Jeffrey Springs shined with seven innings and just two hits, posting a stellar September ERA. Despite uncertainty about their future home, the field is showing promise, fueled by breakout performances from Butler and Hartlieb — a hopeful, high-energy finish to the season.
