OAKLAND, Calif. -- Almost nothing went right for Oakland A's right-hander Jesse Hahn last season, but when he faced the Detroit Tigers on May 28 at Oakland Coliseum, he gave up three runs in six innings of a 12-3 victory.
Two years ago on May 25 in Oakland, Hahn blanked the Tigers 4-0 on four hits for his only career shutout and complete game. He beat the Tigers 7-5 that season on June 4 at Comerica Park, allowing one run in seven innings.
Hahn is 3-0 with a 1.64 ERA in three career starts against the Tigers, and he'll try to beat them again Saturday night at the Coliseum when he faces right-hander Jordan Zimmermann in the second game of a three-game series.
