Andy Parrino News

RENO, Nev.- Reno batters combined for five more hits than Sacramento, but it was not enough, as the club suffered a 9-7 loss to the River Cats on Wednesday night at Aces Ballpark.

Last week, I took a look at the team-level projections for the A's and how they have changed given the A's latest winning ways.

Well, we saw a great example of baseball's version of the trickle-down effect this week, when something as simple as outfielder Josh Reddick's return to the A's roster prompted a series of roster moves that effected players at virtually every level of the A's minor league system.

Andy Parrino's fourth-inning grand slam put Sacramento ahead, but the River Cats couldn't hold off the Salt Lake Bees in a 9-5 loss on Thursday at Raley Field.

Oakland A's outfielder Josh Reddick crossed the plate twice - giving him five runs in his two games while rehabbing with Sacramento - and made a highlight-reel diving catch in the sixth inning to help the River Cats defeat the Salt Lake Bees, 7-2, on Wednesday afternoon at Raley Field.

Hand was a late scratch from his start against the Sacramento River Cats on Tuesday night.
