It seems like just yesterday the A's starting rotation was mowing down hitters left and right.
On their season-opening eight-game homestand, Oakland's starters allowed just six earned runs in 46 2/3 innings for a sparkling 1.16 ERA.
That stellar pitching has not carried onto the road, where A's starters have allowed 19 earned runs in just 15 2/3 innings over the last four games. That translates to an ERA of 10.91.
Add in the A's two games in Tokyo to start the season and Oakland starters have allowed 27 earned runs in 23 2/3 innings away from the Coliseum, an ERA of 10.
