- The San Francisco Giants hosted the Oakland Athletics on Friday at Oracle Park to start a three-game series between Northern California rivals.
- This series follows the Athletics’ relocation plans from Oakland to Sacramento and a stadium project in Las Vegas, changing the nature of the traditional Bay Bridge Series.
- Right-Hander Logan Webb, with a 4-3 record and 2.60 ERA, started for the Giants while the Athletics countered with lefty JP Sears, holding a 4-2 record and 2.80 ERA.
- David Forst, Athletics general manager, said, "We're not right across the Bay" and noted the commute once took 20 minutes but now involves a 90-mile drive.
- Despite relocation and logistical changes, both teams and fans maintain enthusiasm for the rivalry, which Forst believes will continue in a new form.
