The legend of Swirvin Irvin continues to grow.
The Oakland A’s beat the Toronto Blue Jays for the second straight game on Tuesday, this time by the score of 4-1, and the story begins and ends with pitching. Fifth starter Cole Irvin put together the A’s longest start of the year, and arguably the best so far, with an eight-inning gem to lead his club to victory.
The lefty Irvin made the team out of spring training when an injury opened up a rotation spot, and in his first two outings of the season he got knocked around by the Houston Astros.
