Rewind: Record-setting Dull thrives under pressure

His work flies under the radar, which is how life typically is for a middle reliever who is consistently getting the job done.

However, it’s getting tough to downplay the roll that A’s rookie reliever Ryan Dull is enjoying. On Monday, he entered the type of high-pressure situation that he’s thrived in all season. The Minnesota Twins had runners on first and second with two outs, the A’s up 3-1, when Dull relieved Kendall Graveman and retired Eduardo Nunez on a ground-ball force out up the middle.

Dull has now inherited 36 runners in his 38 appearances this season.
