Behind Daniel Gossett and an efficient offense, the A’s beat the Giants by a score of 6-1.
A’s open up the scoring
The A’s got on the board in the second inning thanks to some bad defense and passable offense.
Ryon Healy, lover of playing the field, singled to left to open the frame. He’d move to second on a Chad Pinder walk. Next up was Matt Chapman, whose “double” to center plated Healy and moved Pinder to third. 1-0 A’s.
Double is in quotation marks not because it wasn’t well struck. It was, possibly a dinger in a more hitter friendly ballpark with more distance from the thick ocean air.
