Ryan Dull, who had pitched the entire first half while wearing a close-cropped goatee, showed up in the A’s clubhouse clean shaven Sunday morning, just hours after he’d earned his first save of the season while seeing his streak of on allowing inherited runners to score ended.
He said there was no correlation between the baseball and his facial hair.
“It was coming off, no matter what,’’ Dull said. “It was time.’’
Dull had not allowed any of the 36 base runners he’d inherited score before coming in with men on the corners and no one out and the A’s holding a 3-0 lead Saturday.
