The Oakland Athletics suffered a 3-2 setback to the Texas Rangers Saturday night despite a strong showing from lefty Sean Newcomb, who made his first start of the season. Newcomb allowed just one hit and two walks to go along with five strikeouts over four scoreless innings. Newcomb had been solid in five appearances as a reliever, but Saturday was just his third start since the 2020 season.
Sean Newcomb says he's always felt like a starter and is excited about the possibility of a larger role in the rotation pic.
