Game #28: Vlad Jr.’s First Hit Sinks A’s
Kevin Sousa-USA TODAY Sports Let’s go Warriors!
On a day when the A’s got the very best of Mike Fiers, they absolutely could not come up with any offense except a pinch-hit home run from Robbie Grossman that briefly tied the game at 2 and brought excitement to this one for a minute. But the one hit over seven other innings did them no favors, and the very first hit by Vlad, Jr., a ringing double, was always going to end the game against Petit, not Treinen.
