The plan is that come 2028, the A’s will become the Las Vegas A’s, in a glittering new 33,000-seat stadium right on the strip. But until then, the A’s are playing Major League Baseball in a minor league park — 14,000-seat Sutter Health Park, in Sacramento, California, about 90 miles east of Oakland.

On Sunday, Bob Nightengale put in his notes column that "Major League Baseball believes the strongest two expansion markets remain Salt Lake City, Utah, and Nashville, with no plans to put an expansion franchise back into Oakland."

If that wasn’t enough baseball-style humor, there was Michael Helman — recalled just today in place of the scuffling Alejandro Osuna — finishing off the four-run fifth inning with his first ever big league home run in the same frame as Freeman’s first hit.

Josh Jung homered and scored three times in his return to the majors, Cody Freeman and Michael Helman had big-league firsts on consecutive pitches and the Texas Rangers beat the Athletics 7-2 on Monday night.
