Oakland A’s stretch win streak to seven in front of boisterous — and season-high — ‘reverse boycott’ crowd at Coliseum

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:20:37 GMT

Playing in front of their biggest — and easily most energized — home crowd of the season, the Oakland A’s remained the hottest team in baseball with a 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night.The A’s won their seventh straight in front of an announced crowd of 27,759 — mostly fans mobilized by a “reverse boycott” event intended to protest owner John Fisher’s handling of the team and efforts to relocate to Las Vegas. Earlier in the day, the potential move to the desert came closer to reality when the Nevada state Senate voted 13-8 to approve up to $380 million in public money for a stadium on the Vegas strip, setting up a vote in the Assembly as soon as Wednesday that could virtually seal the deal.Much of the crowd was alternating chants of “Let’s Go Oakland!” and “Sell the Team!” from Shintaro Fujinami’s first pitch of the game until reliever Trevor May ended the game by striking out Jose Siri. But the f...

NEW YORK (AP) — Drew Smith became the second New York Mets pitcher to get ejected this season for using an illegal foreign substance when he was tossed from the Subway Series opener Tuesday night against the Yankees at Citi Field.The reliever never even threw a pitch. He was checked by umpires as he entered in the top of the seventh inning with the Mets trailing by one run and never made it to the mound.“They said both of my hands were too sticky,” Smith said following his team’s 7-6 loss. “Really surprised, because I haven’t done anything different all year. Sweat and rosin. I don’t know what else to say. Nothing changed. It’s just, I think the process is so arbitrary. It can change from one crew to the other and I think that’s the main issue.”Smith was stopped for a routine check as he reached the infield. Within moments, several umpires and teammates were huddled around the right-hander, and Mets manager Buck Showalter came out of the dugout to join the discussion. Smith he...
