Here are 13 Walk-Off Thoughts after the Indians’ 3-1 loss to the Oakland A’s on Wednesday night.
1. Mike Clevinger hung a slider and a breaking ball to Chad Pinder, and that was pretty much the ballgame on Wednesday night. Pinder blasted both mistakes for home runs and with Sean Manaea dealing, that was enough for the A’s.
2. But for Clevinger, it was another quality outing. He allowed three runs on five hits and two walks and struck out seven in 6 2/3 innings pitched. In five starts (and one relief appearance) in the big leagues this season, Clevinger’s ERA now sits at a solid 3.
