After the wheels fell off the Henry-mobile yesterday, Ryne Nelson had a chance to boost his fifth starter chances, albeit going up against the Athletics. Still, 3.2 inning of one-run ball, on four hits and a walk with two strikeouts, will not have hurt Nelson. Even if he did get some help from his defense, throwing a runner out at home. Gabriel Moreno also nailed a base-stealer later in the game. Ricky Karcher and Miguel Castro both kinda sucked, allowing multiple runs, before Paul Sewald, Ryan Thompson and Kevin Ginkel combined for three shutout innings on one hit with four strikeouts.
