New era begins for A's with home opener in Sacramento
For the first time in nearly 60 years, the Athletics on Monday play their home opener outside of Oakland, when they take on the Chicago Cubs at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento. Long-time fans of the Oakland Athletics will have to drive an hour-plus up Interstate 80 or I-5 if they want to see their team play in person. Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento is the A's new temporary home while the club waits for its new stadium to be built in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, community leaders in Sacramento are hoping that hosting the A's for the next couple of seasons will prove to Major League Baseball that their region has the infrastructure and enough interest from fans to permanently house a major sports franchise.

Cubs' upcoming road series against the Athletics is a reminder of how lucky we are Things may not be perfect for Cubs fans - but it could always be much, much worse. By Nick Neumayer | Share on Facebook Share on X Copy Article Michael Zagaris/GettyImages Share on Facebook Share on X Share on Reddit Copy Article It's safe to say Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts did not enjoy a peaceful offseason in the court of public opinion. The Cubs struck gold acquiring All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker from the Houston Astros, but it quickly went downhill from that point on.

Mariners fail to capitalize on chances in loss to Athletics
The Mariners' path to a second straight defeat that once again featured a paucity of runs scored was slightly different this time. Unlike their loss in the previous defeat, where base runners and the possibility of scoring runs were largely nonexistent, the Mariners had traffic on the bases, runners in scoring position and plenty of opportunities to do something more than they did, Saturday night. Seattle put the leadoff runner on base in four of the first six innings. The Mariners had a runner on base in six of the first seven innings and seven innings total, and the A's aided their chances by walking six hitters, hitting two batters and committing two errors.
Seattle Mariners Offense Goes Quiet in 7-0 Shutout Loss Against Athletics
One day after they showed impressive fight and late-game heroics in coming away with an Opening Day win, the Seattle Mariners failed to find that same fight in a 7-0 shutout loss against the Athletics on Friday at T-Mobile Park.

The Athletics broke the seal in the top of the fifth courtesy of a two-run home run hit by Brent Rooker.
Mariners offense goes silent in shutout loss
All the frustration felt by fans for the first six innings on opening night and all the memes, snarky tweets and comments that might have been prematurely sent or were waiting to be shared about the same ol' Mariners, having the same feckless offensive production as last season while suffering yet another run-deprived loss, well, they were good to go for Friday night. With an announced crowd of 25,061 in attendance for the second game of the season, the Mariners offered a reminder of their issues from last season and potential weaknesses this season, getting shut out in a 7-0 loss. The Mariners mustered only five hits — all singles — while drawing three walks and striking out 13 times. Luis Castillo gave the Mariners a decent outing.
