Sigh. Jesse Hahn pitched one of the best games of his career, going 8 innings and allowing only 3 baserunners, but the A’s were unable to generate enough offense to get the win. This game was not only slow offensively, but there was a constant sense of déjà vu as each team matched the other almost perfectly through the night. Ultimately, the A’s wasted multiple opportunities with a runner on first and 0 outs and those mistakes came back to haunt them.
This game was a straight-up pitchers’ duel through regular innings. Both JC Ramirez and Jesse Hahn pitched fantastic games.
