The Athletics are 51-27 since June 2, the best record in the Major Leagues.

Oakland has gotten contributions for almost their entire roster during the hot streak and put themselves in the thick of the playoff race.

They have been even hotter as of late. They have won six in a row, eight of nine and 12 of 14. For the first time since the conclusion of the 2006 campaign, the A's are more than 15 games over .500.
