The Athletics’ losing streak continued on Tuesday night as the club dropped their second game of their series against the Angels 7-5. The loss now drops the team to last place in the AL West and with a 22-27 record the team now sports the American League’s third-worst record. A huge fall from where this team was just a couple weeks ago.
Hoglund solid early
Drawing his fourth start of his career rookie Gunnar Hoglund got the ball hoping to be the stopper for this god awful losing streak. He was sharp early on as he collected two punchouts in the first and then another in each of the next two innings.
