The Oakland A’s have now won six-straight games versus the Toronto Blue Jays and Detroit Tigers following 3-straight losses at the hands of Colorado Rockies. A 6-3 record in the last 9 isn’t amazing. But what is amazing is that since the A’s first faced the Rockies on July 27th Oakland pitchers haven’t allowed more than four runs in a single game.
This includes surviving a Coors field start from Brett Anderson, who then turned around to toss 7 scoreless frames against the yes-they’re-still-a-pro-team-Detroit-Tigers. Frankie Montas allowed just 3 earned runs in his Coors field game, albeit in less than 5 innings.
