After getting recalled from Triple-A Nashville earlier in the day, the A’s reliever finally stepped onto a Major League mound with the bases loaded in the seventh. Bleich faced two batters, surrendering a double to Steven Duggar that brought in two runs, tipping the scale in a 7-1 Giants win in the opening game of the Bay Bridge series at AT&T Park.
