WEEKRECORDRANKCOMMENT
Week 5 14-12 13 Having not played in a game in more than two weeks because of a hand injury, Yoenis Cespedes returned to the A's lineup on Sunday and delivered a game-tying two-run homer in the ninth inning in a game the A's went on to win in the 10th. -- ESPN.com
Week 4 12-7 2 The A's were riding a high on offense going into Tampa, but they left humbled, swept and outscored by a 17 to 4 tally. Ex-Red Sox Coco Crisp and Jed Lowrie, each of whom has an OPS over 1.000, will try to get Oakland back on track in a three-game visit to Boston. -- Jason Wojciechowski, Beaneball
Week 3 9-4 2 The A's winning streak ended at nine, as they were dominated by the Tigers on Saturday and Sunday. But three at home against Houston should help them perk up before a tough week at Tampa and Boston. Jed Lowrie and Coco Crisp are tied for fifth in the American League in slugging percentage. -- Jason Wojciechowski, Beaneball
Week 2 5-2 9 New A's shortstop Jed Lowrie has the second-most hits (13) in the majors, including three home runs, so far. -- ESPN.com
Week 1 0-0 11 Brett Anderson will get the Opening Day start for the A's after pitching in only six games last season. -- ESPN.com
