An epically disastrous 2nd inning has the M's up 5-0 with Braden victimized by a succession of hits that barely left the infield.
In other news, Jeremy Hermida is cute, in case you're wondering what he looks like. Holla Jeremy!

ESPN Game Cast
predicts Seattle a 90% chance – today’s game winner. So what is the % chance of A’s catching Texas? …not greater than 5% I would think.
…….just checked before posting…now it is 93%.
and Oakland was $200 to win $100
which is significant. Vegas must know that we are going to score 10 runs.
