The Oakland Athletics won their second game in a row against the Boston Red Sox as the team won a close 4-2 ballgame at Fenway Park on Wednesday. Athletics starter Brandon McCarthy gave the team a solid 6.2 innings of work, allowing only one run on five hits and three walks as he earned his second victory of the season. McCarthy also added 4 strikeouts over 113 pitches. Designated hitter Seth Smith had two hits, including two runs batted in that ultimately made the difference in the game. Brian Fuentes came into for ninth, and while he allowed a run, earned his first save of the season.

Still trying to get past that .500 mark on the season, the Oakland Athletics dropped two of three to the Baltimore Orioles this past weekend at Camden Yards. After winning the series opener 5-2, the team lost Saturday's game handily by the score of 10-1. Looking to take the series on Sunday, the team came up short in a 5-2 loss. Pedro Strop got the win for the Orioles, who moved to 14-8 on the young season. Grant Balfour got the loss on the day, giving up a three-run home run and failing to record a putout out of the bullpen. The Athletics go into Fenway Park to face a red-hot Red Sox team on Monday.

While the team currently sits among the worst in baseball in every major offensive category, the Oakland Athletics have managed to scrape together 8 wins so far on the young season and are in second place in the American League West. Newcomer Yoenis Cespedes leads the team in batting, home runs and runs batted in with a .254 clip, 4 HR's and 15 RBI's. Veteran Bartolo Colon has stepped in and been masterful so far this year, pacing the squad with a 2.54 earned run average and 3 victories so far. The team will compete in series against the Chicago White Sox and the Baltimore Orioles to finish off their April schedule.

For the first time in quite a while, the fans in Oakland have something to be excited about. The A's went out during the offseason and signed Cuban sensation Yoenis Cespedes to a four-year, $36 million contract, providing the team with a much needed boost of adrenaline. Cespedes was billed as a hitter with above average power and the ability to steal bases, and so far he has yet to disappoint. After four games in MLB, Cespedes is tied with the league lead in HR's with 3 and is second in RBI's with 7, pacing Oakland to a 2-2 record in the first week of the season.

Oakland Athletics Tickets - 2011 Season Info

It's been tough sledding for the Oakland A's in recent years, but the team looks to build off a great 2010 season and take big steps forward in the AL West. After finishing second in the division last season, the club put a focus on adding offensive firepower like Matsui. However, at the Mid-Season, the A's still aren't showing much promise. They fired their manager, and have continued to have a losing record with the new one (Bob Melvin). Still sitting in last place in the AL West, the A's have a lot of work to do before the season is up.
