Well, I didn’t see that coming. In 97 tidy pitches, with just two hits and zero runs allowed, Daniel Mengden comes out of nowhere to hurt a Maddox special. It was awesome. Backed by two two-run home runs by the Matts (Olson and Joyce), the A’s taken the opener easily 4-0.
And meanwhile, the magic has finally ended in Cleveland as the win streak is stopped at 22.
I’ll be back with all the details.
