March 28: CLE 2 @ OAK 1
Coming into the bottom of the 9th down 2-0, Oakland has a chance after a Zack Gelof triple and Nick Allen RBI. Esteury Ruiz continues the rally, but Noda, Rooker and Brown all make outs to end the inning with the tieing run at third. Wood provides a fine but not great outing as the first starter, going 5 innings for 2 runs. Beiber was the headline of the game though, going 8 scoreless innings.
W: S. Beiber (1-0)
L: A. Wood (0-1)
SV: E. Clase (1)
Record: 0-1

March 29: CLE 3 @ OAK 4
Another game with late innings drama for Oakland. Bottom of the 9th, trailing by 1, Langeliers leads the inning off with a single. A Gelof double and Allen single are this time enough to walk the game off to take the first win of 2024. JP Sears was good, going 7.1 innings with 2 ER.
W: M. Miller (1-0)
L: E. Clase (0-1)
Record: 1-1

March 30: CLE 5 @ OAK 2
The Guardians are too good for Oakland. Esteury Ruiz gets the first longball of the season, but that was not enough as the bullpen allowed 5 hits, and 2 ER in their 4 innings of work. Oakland made 3 errors, that were also responsible for 2 of the Guardians runs. For a team that should be better defensively than the other skills, they really n eed to clean up their act.
W: T. McKenzie (1-0)
L: P. Blackburn (0-1)
SV: S. Barlow (1)
Record: 1-2

March 31: CLE 3 @ OAK 2 (10)
A strong start from Ross Stripling (6IP, 1H, 0 ER) is not enough for the A's as a 10th inning has to be used to separate the teams in the final game of the series. After a couple of hits, the Guardians drive CJ Cron home to take the lead in the 10th. In the home half, Zack Gelof singles, and Ruiz is held at third. However, a groundball to the third baseman from JD Davis leads to Ruiz being thrown out at the plate during the next AB. Gelof reaches third later but it's too little, too late and Cleveland win the opening series.
W: E. Clase (1-1)
L: M. Miller (1-1)
SV: C. Smith (1)
Record:1-3

Oakland starts the weekly power rankings at 27th.
