Christopher Sanchez absolutely shoves it right up the A's ass, Severino pitches good enough to win, and the bullpen finds a way to light it on fire anyway. Then it's the injury and transaction dump: Skubal's elbow, Carlos Correa's bad ankle, Acuña's hammy, Shea Langeliers on the paternity list, Jonah Heim back to the A's for catcher depth, and a pile of arms bouncing between the IL and rehab…
