OAKLAND — Seven years after Trevor Cahill started the first game Bob Melvin ever managed for the A’s, the veteran right-hander gets another significant assignment — starting the A’s 50th anniversary game Tuesday night against the Chicago White Sox.
Coincidentally, Cahill made his start on June 9, 2011 against the White Sox as well, the same day Melvin was named interim manager after general manager Billy Beane fired Bob Geren.
Cahill, who signed March 19, had two starts for the Class AAA Nashville sounds, giving up four hits and five earned runs in nine innings with seven walks and 10 strikeouts.
