One run on four hits.
The Oakland A’s took another quiet loss on Sunday, this time 4-1 to the Angels in Anaheim, and even their one run came thanks to some help from the sun.
The A’s got a decent pitching effort from starter Cole Irvin, who was activated from the injured list this morning after missing a few weeks. The left-hander went six innings and kept the team in the game, navigating through trouble several times but never letting any rally escalate too far.
- Irvin: 6 ip, 3 runs (2 earned), 4 Ks, 2 BB, 1 HR, 8 hits, 90 pitches
That’s a perfectly average line, despite allowing more than his share of hard contact.
