After two-straight wins, the Oakland Athletics fell flat with a 9-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers in Thursday’s series finale.
Hogan Harris found himself in some first inning trouble and it again started with a walk. Harris retired Matt Vierling on a ground out to start the game, but then walked Spencer Torkelson. Andy Ibanez followed with a double off the wall in right center to put runners at second and third with just one out. Harris struck out Kerry Carpenter for the second out, but Javier Baez made him pay with a single to left that scored both runners to give Detroit and early 2-0 lead.
