SAN FRANCISCO — Daniel Mengden finally got some run support from his A’s teammates, not that he required much of it Monday night.
The rookie dazzled in front of a sellout crowd at AT&T Park, leading the A’s to an 8-3 victory over the Giants and notching his first major league win. He gave up just four hits and two runs over 7 2/3 innings, and one of those runs scored after he left the mound in the eighth.
Starting the opener of the Bay Bridge Series, Mengden was pitching in the most charged-up atmosphere yet of his four big league starts.
