The Athletics secured a 3-1 victory over the New York Mets on April 12, marking their second home win since relocating to West Sacramento.

In a subsequent game on April 17, Tyler Soderstrom hit two home runs against the Chicago White Sox, bringing his season total to nine and contributing to the Athletics' 8-0 victory.

The Athletics are currently in the midst of a three-game series against the White Sox, followed by a matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Ginn's improved pitch velocity, with his sinker averaging 94.8 mph and slider at 87.2 mph, has contributed to his effectiveness on the mound.

In addition to Ginn's performance, Brent Rooker had three hits in the game, while teammates Max Schuemann and Jacob Wilson also made significant contributions.

Despite recent successes, the Athletics currently sit in last place in the AL West with a 6-9 record, facing challenges in run prevention and defensive performance.

Soderstrom's achievement of three multi-home run games within the first 17 games of the season places him among an elite group of players in MLB history.

This power surge is particularly notable as Soderstrom had only nine home runs in 61 games last season, showcasing his significant improvement.

In a recent game, J.T. Ginn, a former Mets prospect, made a strong season debut for the Oakland Athletics, pitching 5 1/3 innings and allowing only one run on four hits, including a solo home run by Brandon Nimmo.

Mason Miller has been a reliable closer for the Athletics, securing five saves in five opportunities this season, including a recent game against the Mets.

Soderstrom's performance also ties him for the second-most home runs in Athletics franchise history through the first 19 games, alongside legends like Reggie Jackson and Mark McGwire.

Injuries have also impacted the Mets, as center fielder Jose Siri left a recent game due to a bruised left shin and is considered day-to-day.
