Happy Tuesday, everyone!
Yesterday was a great day. Most people got the day off to observe Memorial Day, it was a nice day in the Bay Area, but most importantly the A’s actually won a game. The losing streak stops at 11.
It came with the help of a player fresh off of the IL. Righty Paul Blackburn returned to the club for his first start of the season after dealing with injuries throughout spring training and the first couple months of the season. For a starting rotation short on experience (and success), the return of a former All-Star was more than welcome for the club.
