Anybody watching or listening to this game knew from the beginning it was not going to go the Athletics’ way. It was so bad that Daniel Gossett was pulled in the 5th inning and ultimately notched the loss.
So what happened? Well, in the second, Daniel Gossett walked Seager and allowed Yonder Alonso to single to center. Mike Zunino then roped his 24th home run of the season over the fence in center field. Seattle 3, Oakland 0.
In the third inning with one out, Mitch Haniger homered (15)—also on a fly ball over the fence in center field.
