If there’s one thing the Oakland A’s will take away from their 2021 season series against the rebuilding Baltimore Orioles, it’s that John Means Business.
The A’s were stymied by the lefty starter for the second time in a week, falling 3-2 on Friday in the opener of a three-game series at the Coliseum. The gem by Means extinguished the quality debut of Mike Fiers, who pitched for the first time this year after beginning the season on the injured list.
Last Sunday, Means kept Oakland quiet into the 7th inning, in a victory that avoided a series sweep by the A’s.
