The Oakland A’s and Baltimore Orioles traded zeroes for 11 innings on Saturday, racking up 31 strikeouts between them along the way. Finally, in the bottom 12th, Khris Davis got ahold of a fastball from Pedro Araujo and deposited it into the LF seats. The A’s walked off as winners by the score of 2-0.
For the first six innings of the game, the story was Trevor Cahill — or, on this night, Trevor K-Hill. When he came up with the A’s a decade ago, he generally pitched to contact with his sinker and relied more on weak ground balls than strikeouts.
