Oakland dropped their fifth straight game this evening, falling to Seattle by a final of 11-2.
It was ugly and early in this one. Muller served up a quick 2-run home run in the bottom of the first inning, then allowed a 3-run shot in the second. It was a 5-0 disadvantage with the A’s yet to even record a hit against Seattle ace Luis Castillo. Oakland got their first hit on a leadoff Shea Langeliers double in the third but stranded him.
And it wouldn’t be until the fourth that the A’s finally got a scoring opportunity.
