The roof caved for the A’s in one forgettable inning Friday night, and that scene has played out far too often in 2015.
The guilty party wasn’t so predictable, however.
Lefty reliever Drew Pomeranz, who had been so reliable of late, allowed two bases-loaded walks and a two-run single in the bottom of the sixth at Progressive Field.
Presto … a 1-1 tie became a 5-1 defeat to the Cleveland Indians, and the A’s were left to digest their third consecutive loss on this two-city road trip.
Pomeranz entered a bases-loaded, two-out situation in relief of Kendall Graveman, who pitched well but saw his pitch count get driven up early.
