They had not won three consecutive series since winning five in a row from May 31 to June 16, 2021. A’s manager Mark Kotsay believes his players are starting to come together, starting with the winning trip. “To come back from behind and hold the lead,” Kotsay said. “we did that sometimes last year — we came back from behind.. We couldn’t hold the lead.” Lawrence Butler, who reached base four times, said even after losses, the mood in the clubhouse has remained positive. |
