Game #42: A Fastball Down the Heart
Neville E. Guard-USA TODAY Sports In the series finale against the Cleveland Indians, the A’s fell behind in the 1st inning and could never quite claw all the way back into it.
While the team made things close in the middle innings, Ryan Buchter, in relief of a tiring Daniel Mengden, surrendered a three run home run bomb to deep left center field after tossing a fastball right down the heart of home plate to Jose Ramirez that proved to be a death knell for Oakland.
The A’s start another road trip tomorrow by flying up to Seattle to play a quick, two game series next week.
