Paul Blackburn on his Tuesday start
Media: SFChronicle
MESA, Ariz. - Paul Blackburn made such a strong impression during his brief time in Oakland’s rotation last summer, his bad outing Tuesday probably won’t sink his chances of winning a starter job.
However, his rough day against the Dodgers might put more emphasis on his next start, which is scheduled for Sunday at the Coliseum in the first of the three Bay Bridge Series games against the Giants.
Blackburn, a 24-year-old from Brentwood, allowed seven hits, three walks and three runs against Los Angeles, and he said he was just completely out of whack.
