The Athletics were quickly reminded that the bullpen renaissance will have to wait for next year as the A's fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-7. The A's came back from a 3-2 deficit with a four-run seventh inning, but Fernando Rodriguez, Drew Pomeranz, and Dan Otero combined to allow five runs in the bottom half of that inning.
The 7th inning of the A's-Dodgers game took 1 hour and 43 seconds to play.

The difficulty was that Jesse Chavez was not impressive, certainly not impressive enough to give him a third plate appearance tonight without the designated hitter.
