Last night's 5-1 romp means seven wins in eight for the A's, whose bats have come alive behind slugging rookie Nick Kurtz, but he's been getting help from up and down the lineup, while ex-MSU Bulldog JT Ginn posted a 2.25 ERA in July as he has transitioned well from the bullpen to the rotation, allowing just one run across 11 IP in his two starts vs. Texas and Houston. Not as good for Arizona, in a full nosedive it would seem, losing six straight and nine of ten, and Zac Gallen's reported move at the deadline never materialized, perhaps because he's been subpar all season (5.60 ERA), especially so his last thee starts (8.47 ERA, all D-backs losses).
