SEATTLE — What did Game 162 mean for the Oakland A’s?
They came into the game with 97 wins, matching their high from 2018. A season-ending win could at least inch them above the remarkable mark.
Instead, they lost to the Seattle Mariners, 3-1, on Sunday afternoon. They finished the season 97-65.
All the regulars got the day to rest. Marcus Semien started the game off to complete his 162-start season, but fouled out on the first pitch and was subbed out soon after. Skye Bolt got the start in center field and Seth Brown his first start of the year at first base.
