With a notable victory against Oakland Athletics where they scored 10 runs off 14 hits without committing any errors, their offensive prowess is evident. Their batting average stood impressively at .350 in that game, showcasing their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Furthermore, their pitchers have maintained a commendable ERA of 0.0 across nine innings in another match against Oakland Athletics, highlighting both strong defensive and offensive plays.


On the other hand, despite facing challenges in past games against formidable teams like Baltimore Orioles and Oakland Athletics again where they lost with scores reflecting tighter contests (3-5 against Orioles), the team has demonstrated tenacity. They've been working hard on improving their hitting accuracy (.219 against Orioles) and reducing errors which were non-existent in one of these encounters.
