Tonight, Chris Bassitt took as hard of a loss as you'll see, pitching nearly seven innings, allowing just six hits and one run. For most of the game, it looked like he would lose 1-0, but thanks to Evan Scribner, the Rays increased their lead to 2-0 in the ninth, and the A's, who failed on offense all night, would put up the ultimate tease; scoring one and stranding the tying and winning runs on second and third in their chance at the ninth.
Happy Friday! I hope you all started drinking early, 'cause you certainly needed it to get through this game.
