Game #45: The Almost Comeback

Before getting into the recap I guess I’ll just note the most important developments: Jesse Hahn left the game in the 3rd inning. He started the inning with his fastball at only 90mph and left after a handful of pitches. It was announced later that he has a right triceps strain.

Yonder Alonso took a pitch to the wrist and left the game. He has a contusion, but nothing broken.

That’s two potentially major blows to the A’s moving forward, depending on what their recoveries look like. I don’t think that contusions are generally too big of a deal (though I’m not a doctor), but as we’ve seen with Sean Doolittle, triceps strains can be troubling and persistent little buggers.
