Brown has rough night at plate vs. Braves
Seth Brown struck out all four times he was up in Friday’s loss to the Braves. It’s probably about time for the A’s to give up on Brown. He was a solid role player in 2021 and ’22, but his slugging fell off last year, and his exit velocity numbers have really slipped while he’s hit .201/.242/.329 this season. Lawrence Butler seems like a better option in his spot.
Iglesis picks up 14th save
Raisel Iglesias picked up his 14th save despite giving up a run in the ninth Friday against the A’s. Zack Gelof doubled to start the inning and came around to score on a pair of groundouts. Fortunately, Iglesias was working with a three-run lead, so this one was never really in doubt. He’s 14-for-16 saving games this season.
