When it rains it pours. The Athletics continued their losing ways on Tuesday night in their second game against the Twins, falling to Minnesota by a final of 10-3 in front of a season-low crowd that drops the A’s to 23-39 with no signs of the free fall stopping anytime soon.
The A’s tried shaking things up today in the pitching department. Instead of going the traditional route the A’s went with an opener for Game Two against the Twins. The lucky reliever who got that honor was righty Grant Holman, and he did exactly what an opener is supposed to do: get the first three outs of the game.
