The Oakland A’s losing streak is up to seven games.
They made it close on Friday! But they lost again, by a 2-1 margin to the Minnesota Twins at Target Field, with the tying run thrown out at the plate in the 9th inning.
The A’s pitching staff did a good job keeping the Twins off the board. They got into trouble several times but worked their way out on each occasion, holding Minnesota to an 0-for-10 mark with runners in scoring position. Both runs they allowed were on solo homers.
Rookie Zach Logue made his first career MLB start, completing five innings and keeping his team in the game.
