The Oakland Athletics may have ended the perfect game bid, but they still lost Game 1.
The Oakland Athletics put forth an effort all too similar to years’ past in their 4-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox in Game 1 of the Wild Card round.
Fortunately, unlike in the past, this was only Game 1 and they will have a chance to rectify their disappointing loss. But this wasn’t exactly the start of the playoffs that the team was looking for.
For six innings, White Sox ace Lucas Giolito was perfect — something only a handful of other pitchers has ever done before in the playoffs.
