Angels vs Athletics, by the numbers

The A's won in 19 innings, and didn't lead at any point during the game until Brandon Moss' two-run homer in the bottom of the 19th.

3 stars of the game: Game 21
Once again the Red Sox have started a winning streak, this one will hopefully last longer than the last one did.

Continuing from this morning's season preview of the Diamondbacks...
Can the Diamondbacks' new-look outfield effectively replace Chris Young & Justin Upton?

30-1 MLB countdown previews: #22 Athletics
The Oakland Athletics were the biggest surprise for the 2012 season. It seemed like they had that dream season where little to nothing went wrong for them.

New role awaits Young in crowded A's outfield

AL-Only Target: Athletic’s Outfielder Chris Young
After two stellar fantasy seasons for the Arizona Diamonds, where Chris Young posted multiple 20-20 seasons, Young experienced a disappointing 2012. While a majority of his peripheral numbers stayed the same, he struggled through injury all season, only able to accrue 363 plate appearances.
