Athletics Thwart Nationals, 2-1
In a low-scoring contest between the Oakland Athletics and the Washington Nationals, Michael King, who finished 4th in the AL in saves with 34 in 2023, proved to be the difference. The Oakland right-hander earned props for his performance in the 2-1 Athletics win. King picked up the win for Oakland, going 6.2 innings. He gave up 1 run on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 7-7. Picking up his 11th save was 32-year old right-handed pitcher Robert Stephenson.

Kyle Tucker, who finished 2nd in the AL in extra base hits with 75 in 2022, aided the Oakland cause with a run-scoring ground out in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the right fielder went 1-4 with a double.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Tucker said.

Oakland now has a record of 45-36 with the win.
