How do you flip a division on its head? How do you turn baseball inside out? Be the 2018 Oakland Athletics. On Saturday afternoon, the A’s completed their ascendance from almost worst to tied for first. On June 18, the A’s were 12 games behind Houston and languishing in fourth place in the American League West, exactly where most of us expected them to be. On Aug. 18, they pulled into a tie for first place with the reigning World Series champions. With the 7-1 drubbing of the Astros on Saturday, the A’s won their 74th game of the season. The last time the A’s were in first place, not counting April? Aug. 25, 2014.

Amid gales to 50 mph, Maxine McCormick, the 14-year-old fly casting prodigy, won the women’s world championship Friday for casting accuracy. From a platform atop a 6-foot-high bluff at the Cumbrian Lakes on the British coast, Maxine sailed cast after cast into 30-inch floating rings spaced from 20 to 70 feet, reported Chris Korich, coach of the San Francisco-Oakland Casting Club. Her scores also earned her third place in Men’s (or overall) Division, won by perennial world champion Steve Rajeff, who also represented San Francisco/Oakland-based casters. For this year’s championships, 123 casters from 20 countries are taking part.
