This game should have been an Oakland win from the outset. Starting pitcher Andrew Cashner was ripe for the picking. Andrew Cashner is tied as the worst starter with runners in scoring position. This did not, however, come into play. Marco Estrada was ready for his first win. But it did not turn out that way. Estrada left the game with a 1-6 deficit and the A’s never fully recovered, losing 4-12. While the A’s bats were warm throughout the game, the Athletic pitching just never got ahead of the Orioles bats.
