Jose Siri has played a crucial role in the Tampa Bay Rays' recent victories over the Oakland Athletics. On Wednesday, Siri's two-run homer in the seventh inning helped the Rays secure a 4-2 win, marking their fifth win in six games. This followed his solo home run on Tuesday, which broke a scoreless tie and led to a 1-0 win. Rays' pitcher Ryan Pepiot, celebrating his 27th birthday, allowed two runs over six innings in his second start after recovering from a knee infection. Despite strong performances from Oakland's Joey Estes and Mitch Spence, the Athletics have lost consecutive games for the second time since the All-Star break. Both managers were ejected during Wednesday's game for arguing separate plays.
