A’s 5-Dodgers 4: At Least Kershaw was good
And we thought the bullpen was good! Yimi Garcia gave up the game winning single to Billy Butler in the bottom of the 10th and the A’s walked off on the Dodgers to hand LA their 52nd loss of the season. It was… a bummer to say the least, I mean if you’re into silver linings, Clayton Kershaw pitched 7 innings of 1 run ball, striking out 7 and walking 2 lowering his league leading FIP to a 2.18 while his ERA lags behind at an unacceptable 2.34, that and his favorite teammate, A.J. Ellis hit a dinger to raise his OPS above .700 for the first time since 2013. I thought he was cooked earlier this season. I was wrong. thankfully!
