The A’s crumbled in the series finale against Boston, dropping a heartbreaker 5-4 after a shaky bullpen and late-game collapse. They built a three-run lead, thanks to RBI singles and clutch hits from Wilson, Butler, and Walton, but couldn’t hold it. Barnett held strong early, but the fifth inning unraveled, and Scott Blewett kept them in it with a solid sixth. Butler’s sacrifice fly gave them the lead again, but Luis Medina’s two homers in the eighth doomed them. Chapman sealed the win for Boston. This loss mirrors the A’s season — flashes of brilliance, but persistent bullpen woes and missed opportunities in key moments. With the trade deadline looming, change is clearly needed to salvage the season.
