OAKLAND — The Athletics failed to get a single hit against a pitcher making his first start in 657 days Wednesday night in a 6-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays Wednesday night at the Coliseum.
Nathan Eovaldi, coming off not only his second Tommy John surgery but another procedure in March to clean up loose bodies in his right elbow, left after six innings and 70 pitches and 46 strikes, giving up no hits, walking one and striking out four.
Wilmer Font, traded from the A’s to the Rays on May 25, entered in the top of the seventh.
