OAKLAND — Reports of the A’s starting pitching deficiencies may have been greatly exaggerated.
It’s early in the season, but the A’s starting rotation has been downright dominant. Mike Fiers was the latest starter to shine on the mound as he held the Boston Red Sox scoreless through six innings of work in Tuesday’s 1-0 victory. The A’s have now held the Red Sox scoreless through the first two games of their four-game series.
Fiers continued an impressive stretch that he began in the team’s home opener last week as he turned in the sixth consecutive six-inning outing by an A’s starter.
