After starting the game in near-perfect fashion, collecting four runs after the first four batters, the A's then fell apart, in predictable 2015 fashion, and the Mariners jumped all over the A's pitching for the win. Fifteen pitchers were used in tonight's game, accounting for nineteen runs, and when it was all said and done, the A's came out on the losing end yet again.
So, how about this weather? Just gorgeous, right? In an unexpected break from the usual late-summer heat, the weather has turned and it is gorgeous. The days are sunny and the nights hold the promise of crisp Autumn air as the baseball season winds to a close.
