ARLINGTON -- Perhaps the only thing less appealing to a closer than a blown save is having to talk about it with the media 15 minutes later, though traditionally they do it anyway. But A's reliever Santiago Casilla was too disappointed Friday night to discuss his walk-off loss to the Rangers.
"I just didn't think I was going to have anything good to say," Casilla said Saturday while speaking for the first time since Joey Gallo's shot off the right-field foul pole ended his five-game scoreless streak.
A's manager Bob Melvin didn't fault Casilla for his unusual silence.
