Sean Nolin made his A’s debut Sunday, throwing six innings and giving up three runs.
Sean Nolin had hoped this day would have come a little sooner.
But after making his first start for Oakland after the A’s acquired him last winter as part of the Josh Donaldson deal, the left-handed starter could accept that he’s been making progress. He threw six innings and 85 pitches, and all but one of the innings was impressive.
The inning that wasn’t, the fifth, saw him get hurt but two walks and a wild pitch, all of which were his fault, and a pop fly single that was just bad luck.
