OAKLAND — A pitcher’s first big league win usually calls for a celebration, maybe a nice dinner. But A’s reliever Lou Trivino didn’t make any plans to head over to Jack London Square for a nice meal. All he wanted to do after his first victory — sleep.
“I can’t wait to get a solid 15 hours,” Trivino said. “It’s been a great 24 hours. But I’m excited to go to sleep.”
A great 24 hours, indeed.
Trivino, 26, got the call early Tuesday morning that he was called up to Oakland. With Triple-A Nashville playing a series in Des Moines, Iowa, Trivino boarded a plane for Oakland around 7 a.
