It’s a winning streak! And a scoreless streak too.
The Oakland A’s won their third game in a row Friday night, and for the second straight evening they did so by blanking the Los Angeles Angels, this time by a 2-0 margin. Halfway through their four-game weekend series in Anaheim, with 18 innings of play in the books, the Halos are yet to score a run against Oakland pitching.
At this point, it’s rarely a question of whether the A’s starter was good, but rather which starter took their turn dominating that night. In this case it was Chris Bassitt, the All-Star of the rotation, bouncing back after a rare rough outing last weekend in Seattle.
