Oakland fell to the Rangers tonight, falling to Texas in a close 3-2 game.
Strong start from Newcomb
Only a couple hours from game time, A’s fans had no idea who would be getting the start for the club today. It turned out to be left-hander Sean Newcomb, who only recently joined the club in a mid-August trade with the San Francisco Giants. Newcomb broke into the big leagues as a starter but had only made 9 starts since 2018 compared to 103 relief appearances. All five of his games for Oakland prior to today were relief outings.
