All right folks. It’s the final game of the first half. The 2023 season for the Oakland Athletics has fallen off the rails but the team can finish the first half on a high note with a win against the playoff-contending Boston Red Sox.
On the mound to finish the half is lefty JP Sears. Who would have thought, after battling into the final week of the season for a rotation spot, that he would be the lone remaining member of the Opening Day rotation? And he deserves to finish out the half for the club after tossing 94 2⁄3 innings with a 4.
