Quietly productive. Dropped last night by 4 and the temperature took a hit. Pair that with the -6 run differential tells a worse story than the record.

Athletics News
The Oakland Athletics stumbled in their quest for a fourth straight victory, falling to the San Diego Padres 5-2 in a series opener that showcased the A's ongoing struggles with pitching. Jeffrey Springs, who had allowed only three hits through six innings, was betrayed by his defense and a trio of home runs that sank any hopes of a comeback. Coming off a hard-fought series against the Angels, where the A's secured two wins in extra innings, tonight's loss highlights the inconsistency that continues to plague this team. Meanwhile, discussions about Lawrence Butler's future in Oakland are heating up,can the A's afford to keep a player that hasn't met expectations during this transitional phase? As they prepare for the remainder of this series, fans are left wondering if the A's can regain their footing against a Padres team looking to rebound.
