For the second time in as many night, the Athletics fell to the Padres as Oakland lost 5-2 to San Diego.
Highly-touted rookie Mason Miller got the ball to start today’s game. It was only his third appearance in a big league game since coming off the IL, and second start. In each of his previous two outings Miller put up two shutout innings while the club eases him back into duty. His third start today didn’t go nearly as smooth. The Padres tagged him for a couple runs in the first inning thanks to a walk and a couple hits.
