Athletics throttled by Twins 10-2

The Athletics got walloped today on a hot day at the Coliseum, getting blown out

Tough start for Sears

It was always going to be a tall task for Sears to face the Twins less than a week after seeing them in Minnesota. Add in the hot day at the Coliseum and it felt like Sears would be facing an uphill battle from the get-go.

And that turned out to be right. The Twins tagged Sears for a run in the first inning, but he was lucky to get out of that with just one run allowed after loading the bases thanks to a couple hit batters.
