OAKLAND -- In the A's recent run of success, the bullpen has been an unsung hero, keeping them in games, allowing them to make comebacks and finishing off close contests.
It unraveled on Sunday, with Oakland's season-high six-game win streak coming to an end after a 15-3 loss to the Indians at the Coliseum.
After Yusmeiro Petit relieved starter Frankie Montas and gave up two solo homers in the seventh, the bullpen allowed an eight-spot in the eighth, as the Indians sent 13 men to the plate.
