A’s regain destiny, right on schedule

OK, there are two weeks left in the regular season, and there are 13 games remaining on the Athletics’ schedule. And yes, the A’s did put themselves in control of the American League Wild Card race with back-to-back wins against the Mariners on Saturday and Sunday. But manager Bob Melvin said he’s not looking at what should be a promising schedule for the A’s in the final two weeks of the regular season. His focus, he said, is on Tuesday night’s game against the Rangers.
